How to Transfer Form Fields Between Forms in WordPress

Transferring form elements from one form to another in WordPress is quick and easy. This guide will show you step by step how to copy elements from one form into another without losing data or layout.

What Happens When You Transfer Fields?

When you transfer fields:

  • The original elements will remain in the source form.

  • The same elements will also appear in the destination form.

  • If you want to remove the fields from the source form, you must delete them manually by clicking the delete icon [x].

Example: If you transfer three fields (Email, First Name, Last Name) from Form A to Form B, both forms will now contain these fields.

Step 1: Start the Transfer Process

  1. Open the form containing the fields you want to copy.

  2. Click the transfer icon (see image below).

    • The icon will turn green with a downward arrow.

    • This means the fields are ready for transfer.

    • Tip: You can open it in a new browser tab if you need to transfer multiple items to different locations.

  2. Click the green transfer icon inside the destination form.

  3. The selected fields will instantly appear in the new form.

Final Result

After completing the transfer, you will now see the exact same fields inside your other form. The process works whether you’re moving elements to a new form or reusing them inside the same form.
