Forms Designer Forum

This morning I added a new column.
Saved my related form. It saved successfully.
I then connected to load the new field and it loaded blank. I tried to close out completely and reload, still blank.

Before I rebuild this and write the custom code again is there a way to retrieve a previous save? If so where? The actual form works, just the Form Builder is completely blank and all my fields are on the left as if I never made a form.

Hi,
Make sure that you selected the correct content type, group or form set, and the form type. If it does not help, most likely, you've restored a default form by mistake. Please, export forms to files from time to time and back up them into a source control system. Forms configuration is stored in the property bag of the site - try to find it there.

Just rebuild it. Only thing I could do was rebuild it and pulled my jscript off the actual aspx. All I did was save(glad I did) then reconnect. Did not have any groups. I had a back from a few days prior. Did not have anything useful but enough of a template. Any way to create an auto export?

Thank you.

Most likely, you clicked 'Re-connect' button before the form had been completely saved. We will add a confirmation message in a future version of the app.

There is no an auto-export feature, but you can implement a PowerShell script that exports configuration from the property bag periodically.

Thank you.
