Copy Linked Form When Duplicating a Web Template

An enhancement has been introduced to the Web Template module that allows users to copy a landing page along with its associated form. This streamlines the duplication process and ensures that linked forms can be carried over when reusing landing page templates.

Previously, when a landing page was copied, only the landing page was duplicated, while the linked form was not included. With this enhancement, users can choose whether to copy the linked form during the duplication process.

 

Key Highlights

• Users can now copy the linked form when duplicating a landing page.

• A prompt allows users to choose whether to include the form in the copy.

• The copied landing page is automatically linked to the newly created form copy when selected.

 

How It Works

When copying a landing page, the system now displays the following prompt: "Copy and Replace Linked Form?"

You can choose one of the following options:

Yes

• Copies both the landing page and its associated form.

• The copied landing page is linked to the newly created copy of the form.

No

• Copies only the landing page.

• The linked form is not duplicated.

 

Benefits

• Saves time by duplicating linked forms alongside landing pages.

• Provides flexibility to choose whether the form should be copied.

• Maintains form-to-page linkage automatically when copying both.

• Reduces manual effort in recreating and re-linking forms.

• Streamlines the landing page template reuse workflow.

 

Conclusion

The ability to copy a linked form when duplicating a Web Template landing page simplifies template reuse and saves valuable time. By giving users the choice to include or exclude the associated form during copying, the enhancement provides flexibility while ensuring form-to-page linkages are automatically maintained when needed, resulting in a smoother and more efficient landing page management experience
