Import existing V4 form into new V5 installation?

I´m very pleased with the way my Chronoforms V4 form on costacycling.co.uk works, but would like to upgrade to V5.

How would you recommend I proceed from here?

After installing V5, it now sits independently next to V4 (V4 is still the ´live´form).

I tried the experimental method of backing-up the V4 form and then restoring to the V5 installation, but while the web page loads, the form details are missing, blank. Now I have simply reverted to the original V4 version, so no panic!

I am still looking for a way to import the existing form into V5… but if all else fails, I suppose re-building from scratch might be more educational for me! Any tips? Thanks.

Hi zzafio,

As you found the import upgrade is very limited - in fact it only imports the form HTML.

While you can do this, the resulting HTML is a bit limited as it doesn't use the CFv5/Bootstrap classes.

My general recommendation is to build new forms in CFv5, upgrade existing forms when they have to be updated for some reason - or when you have the time and inclination, as it does mean rebuilding more or less from scratch.

Thanks.Yes, rebuilding is probablly best.

I'm not very comfortable with forms, in general, but assume that the V5 interface will be easier for me to use and to understand - so worth the trouble of upgrading.

Gracias!
