Moving data from old custom form to new form without losing data

[AlexsandraJo2]

Is there a way to pull old project data from an inactive custom form into a new custom form if they share some of the same fields and/or calculated fields? Do projects need to be active or can they also be closed?  Could fusion run a scenario irregardless of the project status?

If you apply your new custom form before you remove your old custom form, any fields that exist on both forms will have the data preserved.

Thanks for your response, I tried that and received an error "You can't add Calculated Field to the same object in different expressions"

Ah sorry, I missed that there were calculated fields, here's what I would do.

1. Create new form with all fields, except without calculated fields that overlap

2. Apply new form to projects that have old form

3. Remove old form from projects

4. Add calculated fields to new form, and trigger recalculate

Thank you I will try this and keep you posted !
