Copying field to another part of form it remembers its first location doesn't change to new

[Justine Lions]

Hi - checking if this is a known issue or there is something I can do to rectify easily 

Have an existing form

Wanted to use the same types of fields further on in the form - some standard questions Time/Date/ConditionChoice and then the ChoiceResponse field

So copied the fields and put in the conditional logic from into the copies of ConditionChoice into ChoiceResponse.

Testing the form it appears that ChoiceResponse is based on the very first ConditionChoice rather than my copied ConditionChoice - although I can see from the structure of the form that this has been done elsewhere. (ie a field repeated)

very interesting. So it appears that behind the scenes ConditionChoice has a unique identifier and when it was copied down (it was copied down in a block) it retained that identifier and the ConditionResponse also has the same and retains that understanding of what to refer to.

For the meantime I'm going to recreate rather than copy from now on!

Thoughts/suggestions?

Hi @Justine Lions 

Are you doing copy/paste of the form fields from one form to another?

I would say yes, copying a field will copy and use the same field ID. that's why you see this behaviour.

What conditions are you triggering? Can you share a screenshot please?

I realised I can have the same 'field' - well name - and just had to notice and choose - they are ordered in how they appear on the form. Bit of an eye opener for me. Thank you for responding :)
