Definition of Cloning

Cloning - Clone will save another version of a field, category or form under a new name without ever impacting the original.

Field Cloning – The setup of the field is very important when thinking about cloning individual fields or categories

Definition of Cloning

Category Cloning - Copy (Reuse) or Clone (Save As) - Copy will re-use the existing category and fields, and any changes made on the form will be saved on the original also. This is the most commonly used option. Reuse a category if you want to use the exact same category and have any change that members make on one change the original as well (useful in profiles, where categories from their account profile may also be in their account lookup or sign up form). The fields are pre-populated for people who are logged in.Clone (Save As) - Clone will save the category under a new name without affecting the original category. Click on the checkbox to indicate if you want to include the fields. Cloning existing categories allows you to customize the category without affecting the original (adding fields, deleting fields from form).
