How can I save a form and call it from multiple locations within Apps? ---

This would be a great feature…you can’t. Currently, you have to recreate it. ---

Yeah… recreating it is the only way. Would love to see a “copy existing form” ability with the added feature of being able to tweak the form based on where it’s found within the app. ---

Thank you all for your feedback. Actually, the ideal feature to have (which also address request above) is to ability to save certain component configuration as a “template” which user can apply in various locations within the app. ---

@Mark@david Guys, Thank you for the new Actions features. You guys are amazing. Please if you can also implement using Form at multiple places, it is really needed. Thanks ---

Yes, I agree. It should be a very nice feature (save form or save template)! Any hope on this update? ---

No, but you can copy/paste components, which makes it a bit easier. ---

To copy a form: - Go to the form screen - In the screen panel on the left, right-click on any component and do “Copy all” - Go to the other form screen - Remove all components except one. Leave one that you know you won’t use in your form, like stopwatch or kanban - Right-click on that component and do a “Past” - Remove the component you won’t be needing (stopwatch or kanban). Basically you’re copy-pasting components, you’re not really duplicating or reusing an existing form. ---

A short note: You have to manually add the special values and the on-submit action if you do it that way. Only components on the screen will be copied over.
