How to repeat elements of form?

jmw 14 Aug, 2011
I'm sure this is a newbie question. I searched the forum, but could find no answer. Using v4. I'm building a form where the same elements are repeated (For example: one form for 5 people to submit exhibitor badge requests) Is there an easy way to repeat those fields, without re-entering each one. Thanks!

Hi jmw,

Not that I know of using the Wizard, you can of course copy and paste, use PHP or included files in the Form HTML on the Generla tab if you wish.

Tried that. I must be doing something wrong as any change made in the Code view is not reflected when viewed in the wizard. Code is saved. Cache refreshed. Code is still changed when I open it again, but not shown in wizard. Is there some refresh function I am missing?

OK... Changes show in Front-End view when published, show in Code, but do not show in Wizard. Looks like adding changes in Code view, preclude any use of the Wizard for further development of the form. Which begs the question: Where is the code from the Wizard stored and how is it viewed/edited? Or is it the same and there is a function in Chronoforms that parses out any changes made in Code view when displaying Preview in Wizard? Kinda weird and limiting... or am I missing something?

Hi jmw,

Using Custom Code and editing on the code tab and using the Wizards are a once-off either/or choice. You can't switch back and forth - ChronoForms isn't clever enough to parse the custom hTML and keep it in sync with the Wizard code.

I usually create the form using the wizard, then switch to custom code if any special code is needed (or add Custom Code actions).
