@████████ what are you trying to do? Forms and Workflow are like apples and oranges - 2 separate applications. Can you describe your use case?

Forms cannot be copied into other processes. You can copy the entire process which copies all the forms with it, then delete the process and replace it with the new process. Process flows can be copied from one process to another.
Sorry, to be more clear...
Forms and Workflow are two distinct applications and you cannot have forms in your workflows. Forms processes are built for automating business processes focused on user-based actions, namely the collection and review/approval of information. Workflows are built to automate system processes. There is some overlap, but they are optimized for different use cases.
Forms can only be used with Forms processes, which can kick off a workflow to perform some other system operations.
I assumed your question was about moving a form from one Forms process to another Forms process, which is not supported.
Can one forms process include a workflow that initiates another forms process? For example, I have 6 different forms that I want to have completed sequentially by a user.
Yes - in workflow you have an activity to Invoke Business Process
I use it after the Retrieve Business Process Variables from the calling business process, to insert the variables in the next business process
Thank you. Will this send the form to the user to be filled out and save to the repo?
From what you've shown, it will Invoke the Business process. Like I said you might want to use the Retrieve Business Process Variables from the 'calling' business process, so that the Invoked Business Process has some starting variables. But on a basic level how you have things set in the images is how you do it.
