Hi there,

I'm gonna build let say 50 forms.

Every form have a couple of same blocks: Company data (C), Invoice data(I), Signature (S), Legal Terms(L), Notes(N) and so on.
The difference will be the product (Px) specific questions.

What I want to do is building blocks an re-use this blocks in the forms. For example:

Form 1:
C + I + P1 + P2 + P3 + N + L + S

Form 2:
C + P4 + L + S

I'll have to display the answers on screen and mail them in a PDF.

Is there already a sollution for this? Is there anyone who have an example for me?

I'll hope somebody can help me, my thanks are enormously!

Kind Regard,
Arno

If I understand correctly you want to use the same blocks over and over again?

So for instance if I was you and I was creating a contact form, registration form, order form, you want to be able to use the same elements from the contact form over again in both the registration and order form and vice versa?

If that is the case, RSForms allows you to duplicate any and all the boxes from one form into another. It definitely helps, I have some boxes with custom php scripts that displays a invoice/refernce number based on the actual date and time.

What I would do if I was you I would create one form with all the blocks that you need including any custom scripting that you may ever use save it as something like "master form" so that whenever you are ready to create a new form you can just click the boxes you want to copy them to the new form.

Correct.

Correct, in our case I've to make 50-100 contractforms

I am familiar with this option. If you're building forms, this works ok. But maintenance is very time consuming!

I am searching for a solution so I can use forms within forms.

Hope there is a solution for!

Are all these forms gonna have the same thing?

Also if you dont mind me asking, why so many forms if they are all the same?

As for the form inside a form, I think there is something either in the forums or the RSForm Pro documentation, but I will say since they remodel the site, trying to find anything in the documentation has gotten pretty hard.
