    HI,

     

    Want to know how to export and import the modified form from test to production, with out impacting the existing orders?? The issue I see is if I modify any forms the existing order forms will have issue like field id would hv changed the selected values would have been replaced and new field would come to old order. I want to do form modification without impacting the submitted order forms.

    One potential workaround could be the following:

     

    1. Create a new folder called "Retired Forms".
    2. Make a copy of "Form1". The new copy will be called "Copy of Form1".
    3. Rename "Form1" to "Form1 - yyyy/mm/dd" (replace yyyy/mm/dd with the current date).
    4. Move "Form1 - yyyy/mm/dd" to the "Retired Forms" folder.
    5. Rename "Copy of Form1" to "Form1".
    6. Update "Form1" as needed.
    7. Modify the Service Options, which are currently pointing to "Form1 - yyyy/mm/dd", so they point to the new "Form1".
