I lost a form in a different manner.

1. I created a form based on an Inline List \> ACTION \> “Show Form Screen” title `Enter Time`.
2. I was perfectly happy with the form and it worked great adding records to the DESTINATION \> Sheet.
3. Then I realized I wanted to use the same form as a [Form Button](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/guides/other/forms#adding-the-form-button) in the Detail Screen.
4. I looked to see if there was a way to copy the form or save it as a template and found [this Feature Request](https://community.glideapps.com/t/drag-and-drop-components-into-other-tabs/15855) in which all of the links seem to be broken so it wasn’t much help.
5. I took a stab and tried changing the Inline List \> ACTION \> to “Show Detail Screen” then added a form button to that screen but couldn’t find a way to pull up the original form I had created in the prior steps.
6. So I changed the Inline List \> ACTION \> back to “Show Form Screen” title `Enter Time` and my original form was gone.

Is there a way to recover that original form or do I need to rebuild it? Unless I’m missing something I would like to be able to save Forms for re-use elsewhere.
