Copy form does magical thing

Horst 09 Jun, 2008
Hi all,

if you click on Copy form in the backend and do that
for a form which already has a database table you will end
up with the new form sharing the same(!) db table.

I don't know if that is exactly what one expects...
What will happen if one changes the copied form structurally?

I didn't try, because this behaviour is exactly what I need
for my bilingual form. I only copied the german form and
changed the text to english and voila... data from both
will go into the same table. I didn't even have to click
on "Create Table" because the autogenerated code from the
first form was copied, too.
Nice for me🙂

Hi horst,

That is what happens, sometimes it's good, sometimes not. If you change the form structure you should delete the AutoGenreated code, you will then be able to click the 'Create data table' link and start over with a new table.
