Update an existing form

See how you can update a form or reuse an old unused one.

1. Go to the Forms application.

2. Open the form you want to change.

3. To adjust the field’s properties, use the field’s Configure button. Ensure that you guide your site’s visitors through the form and minimize any friction. Assure that:

   1. The Label describes the purpose of the field (e.g., First name) and lets your visitors know what data they must provide. It may be prefilled by default, depending on your project settings.

   2. The Required checkbox let’s you indicate that a field must contain a value before the visitor is allowed to submit the online form. You can find the Required checkbox in the field’s properties.

   3. The Name is a unique identifier of the form field. The field’s name is usually prefilled when you create the form.

      Changing the name may break the form functionality if the original name is already used within a macro or the website’s code, so only change it if necessary.

   4. Make sure the Form name describes the purpose of the form. You will see the name in the list of forms.

      1. Go to the General tab on the right side and change the Form name.

   5. The Code name serves as a unique identifier of the form, and is usually prefilled. Same as with the form Name, changing it may break the form functionality, so we advise to leave the prefilled value as is.

      Do NOT change the Name if the form is already in use in your application.

      Do NOT change the Codename if the form has already been published to the live site.

      If you’re unsure whether the names of the form are used anywhere, please, check with your developers.
