Dynamically Update Form Names, Don't Make Me Adjust Every Report

Answered


Posted May 10, 2021

If you change the name of a form, it breaks all the reports about that form, and you must now go back into the form selector, and select the "new" name. On top of that, the "old" name is left behind, forever languishing as a useless filter option. It would be a huge time save and require a lot less planning around form launches and reporting, if you didn't need to manually update every single query that references a form, if the form name is changed in any way.

We found this post because we just ran into this issue after a company wide rebrand. 

Our form IDs didn't change, just the names and it's causing havoc with reports. Please, have these relations stored by the form ID and not the name.

I've seen two more posts about this this month, I would still love to see this feature.
