Can I copy and paste from one form to another?

Yes, it is possible to copy items and sections from one form to another.

1. Open each form in the eForm Editor.

  • In the eForms area of the Ocean Portal, open each form in the eForm editor by selecting each form and clicking the 'Edit' button.
  • This will result in two different eForm editor tabs being open in your web browser (i.e., one for each form).

2. Copy the desired item or section.

  • Select the item or section that you wish to copy. The selection will be highlighted in purple.
  • Click the copy icon from the top of the eForm editor (i.e. the clipboard beside the blue plus sign, with arrow pointing into the clipboard).

3. Paste the copied item or section into the other form.

  • Open the eForm you want to paste the copied item or section into.
  • Paste the selection into the second form by selecting the paste icon (i.e. clipboard on the right, with arrow pointing out of the clipboard).
  • Remember to click 'Save Changes' when you're done editing your form(s).
