How to apply custom templates to different forms

Let’s say you want to use the same custom template on a new form. Since the field IDs are newly generated, you need to adjust the original template.

The Form Summary table will automatically render the form variables. If your custom template has field variables placed outside the table, you need to replace them.

Any form fields that aren’t located in the Form Summary table will show as Deleted fields. All you need to do is to replace deleted fields with your current form fields variables.

To replace Deleted fields, hover over each field and click to remove it.

Next, click the plus sign displayed next to the Body dropdown. Choose your form fields one by one. This action will replace the old field IDs with your current fields.

Don’t forget to give your current template a new name and Save the changes.
