Replace forms

I have to revise the main form in my database.My idea is to make a copy of the form and replace the current version by the new one after having all the modifications done.

I have to restrict access to specific sections and hide some data based on a roles and I would like to test, if it works properly before goining ‘online’.

Thank you for your help in advance

Thats what I would do…Just dont change existing field names unless you want a headache :stuck_out_tongue: thats a good rule for just anytype of development. Good luck youll be fine.

It’s really best not to edit the design in a database that people are using. Development should have a separate server to try out new designs, which can then be installed on the production servers only once they have been tested.

At least, create a separate full copy of the database to test your changes in. Otherwise you’ll be creating bogus documents to test the new form and these might cause confusion. And make sure to disable any auotmatic mail notices.
