Forms modified accidentally, is it possible to revert to previous version?

Introduction

In some cases, users make unintended changes to the form or field, such as:

  • Accidentally deleting a field

  • Updating the field type

To address these issues, users can undo these changes by modifying the form's XML.

Restoring Deleted Form Fields

If any form field is deleted accidentally, it can be reverted using ‘undoDeletedFields’ in the form XML.

  1. Navigate to the required form → Click on ‘Download the XML’ to download the form XML

  2. The list of deleted fields is available in the exported form XML underneath the <deletedFields> tag.

    <deletedFields> <field udn="Address"/> <field udn="biobank_details"/> </deletedFields>
  3. The deletion of form fields can be undone by adding the following section in the XML to be imported.

    <undoDeletedFields> <field udn="Address"/> <field udn="biobank_details"/> </undoDeletedFields>
  4. Move the fields from the "<deletedFields>" section to "<undoDeletedFields>", which you want to undo.

  5. Import the updated XML file from the form list page.

Restoring a deleted field will also restore the associated data previously entered in that field.

Undo Other Form Changes

If there are unwanted changes made to the form, you can revert them by uploading the previous version of the form from the ‘Audit Trail’.

  1. Navigate to the required form → Click on ‘Audit Trail’
