Adding additional link in Collection

asked on August 3, 2017 Show version history

The collection in Forms has already "Add new item" link. Can we add another link "Copy item" please? If so, how do we add it? When it says Copy, we want the form to copy the information from previous item to the next item.

 

Thanks

Hi Priya,

As I understand it, each item in a collection would normally be unique (eg, a "Clients" collection that allows the user to add however many new clients they need). What sort of information are you hoping to copy?

If the situation will happen frequently (eg, entering a shipping address that's different than the billing address), would it be possible to include a checkbox along the lines of, "Will information X be different?" If clicked, a field rule would display a field for the user to type in the different information. Otherwise, the information from the first field can be carried over/passed down to other steps in the process?

Thanks. I have a set of fields in a collection. When I say "Copy", the data that I have entered in those fields should get copied to the next item in the collection.

 

Thanks

Thanks for clarifying. This is definitely possible, but would require a bit of JavaScript. I'll see if I can come up with something.
