Multiple Form Editing

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've searched and can't find any answers.
Is it possible to have multiple forms open at the same time?
I'd like to be able to cut and paste certain aspects of the 2 forms I use for my site, and it'd be easier to have both of them open at once.
Still using v2.5

Thanks

Hi Bigjayb,
No you can't have more then one form open at a time. One work around is to save the first form under a different name so the new form has the same data as the first one.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

That's what I've been doing. Was looking to simplify progressive data that would be shared between the forms. Cut and Paste would be perfect in this instance. I run a football picks league, and I wanted to make templates for each week, depending on how many games are played on a particular week. Then I could just cut and paste the progressive data to the form I use for a particular week.

Another question, is it possible to outright hide an element (not display if) to the end user? I would like to keep it on the form, but have it inactive. I don't want to delete, than add again later.

Thanks

Yes , you can do that as long as the input isn't required.
You can add a jquery script and add a line for each input name that you want to hide.
Add another line of this jQ('input[name="text1"]').parent().parent('div[id^="item"]').hide(); and adjust the name to your input.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script>// ver 1
var jQ = $.noConflict(true);
jQ(function () {
jQ('input[name="text1"]').parent().parent('div[id^="item"]').hide();
jQ('input[name="text2"]').parent().parent('div[id^="item"]').hide();
});</script>
