Sharing forms between projects

Hi,

Once I’ve created a form in a project, I’d like to be able to use it in other projects. Is there a way to copy forms over from one project to another, or to create a form template which I can import into any project? Obviously, the alternative is what I’ve been doing up to now, i.e., manually creating the (identical) form in as many projects as I need, which is extremely tedious and inefficient.

Thanks!
Antonio

Hi @antonio_f
afaik it’s not possible to just copy the form

You can duplicate a Project, and choose to duplicate the projects forms as well.
You can then choose to turn the duplicated project into project-template and use that whenever u make a new project

Thanks @_josh.

Unfortunately, I need to use the form in existing projects, often ones created by other people, but that template might come in handy for new projects that I create.

Hey @antonio_f

Just a thought…

What if you make one form for everything?

• If the form is identical in all projects → first field determines the project to which it is assigned (which triggers a rule and automatically adds it to the intended project)
• If you need different input for the different projects make a field that splits the form to show the desired fields

Very interesting @_josh, thanks for the suggestion, which I’ll look into. My hunch is that rules (beyond a few simple built-in ones) are only available with Business plans or higher, and we are on the Premium plan :frowning:

Currently the rules available for a premium plan are:

It will be nice to have such a feature - to create forms templates to insert into existing projects

Josh i want to do exactly that. How can i do it?

Hi @Amanda_Brito, welcome to the community!

If you create a single project to house your form, you can use that as a triage project. You’ll want to connect one of your form questions to a single-select custom field that will trigger your rule.

The rule can then state:
When a task is added to this project → If [single-select field] is [option] → Move or add the task to [project].

Best,

Hi Jeremy, thanks for the response.
The issue for me is that I have about 200 projects live, and I tried to do as you said, but there is a limit of 23 ”otherwise if”. So it does not help me.
