Overview

Duplicating an entire form can be useful if you want to keep all of your fields and just make a few adjustments, or make a new version of your form without updating the old one.

​
How to duplicate a form

Under Fillout in the side menu, open My forms or the Fillout workspace your form is in. Click the three dots on the form, then Duplicate. Enter a name for the copy under New name, or keep the suggested one, which adds “(copy)” to the original name. Then click Duplicate.
Form menu with Duplicate highlighted
You will now have two forms with the same questions and settings, with different unique links. To change the copy’s name later, click the three dots on it, then Rename. If the form is already open in the editor, click its name in the upper left, next to the home icon.

​
What the copy keeps

The copy is made from the latest saved version of your form, including changes you haven’t published yet. It’s created in the same Fillout workspace as the original and starts unpublished, so it has no live link until you publish it. The copy keeps:
  • All questions, pages and settings, including notifications and access settings.
  • All integrations, including webhooks. They use the same connected accounts, so the copy sends to the same Airtable base, Google Sheet or webhook URL until you change it.
  • All workflows. Each one is copied turned off, so it doesn’t run by surprise. Open each workflow on the copy and publish it to turn it on.
The copy doesn’t include:
  • Submissions. The copy starts with an empty Results page.
  • The Reminder email on a scheduling form. Set it up again in the copy’s notification settings.
  • Translations. The copy still has translations turned on and still offers the same languages, but respondents who pick one see your questions in the original language. On the copy, open Settings, then Language, and add each language again.
To reuse a webhook setup on another form, duplicate the form that has it, then change the questions. The webhook URL, headers and body come with the copy.
Fields that connect to another form lose that connection in the copy. Before you publish the copy, set them up again:
  • Subform fields: choose the form again under Connected subform, then choose its Main field.
  • Submission picker fields: choose the form again under Select submissions from, and turn Can create new entries? back on if you used it.
  • Record pickers: Can create new records? and Allow editing records are turned off. Turn them back on and set up the forms they open.
The same happens when you import a form.
