How to duplicate Forms on iOS and Android
Once a form is pulled up on a mobile device, any Project Admin or Member can duplicate the form. (More info here: What is the difference between Project Administrators, Members, and Followers?) Just open up the Form, select the three horizontal (iOS) or vertical (Android) dots in the top-right corner and choose to 'duplicate' the form:
| On iOS: | |
 |

| On Android: | |

When you duplicate a form, all of its contents will be copied over, with the following exceptions: weather (if applicable), signature(s), photos, and files. The duplicated form’s status will also automatically default to its first status (or “Draft” for our default templates).
