Changing/Updating forms

Support
1

Hi Guys,

From reading past posts I realize there is really no easy way to change or
update existing forms.

What I am going to do is

  1. Save the current data for the form as a temp fusion table then delete
    both the data and old form on Aggregate.

  2. I will upload the new updated form and publish to google fusion with
    live stream.

  3. Merge the old (temp) fusion table with the old data with the new google
    fusion table.

Just want to know if there are any pointers or better way to do this that
this?

Any advise/pointers appreciated.

Thanks

Nome

Hi Nome,

It's never a good idea to delete data if you don't have to. Keep the old
form but disable downloads. Add a new form that is enabled. New submissions
will come to that form and you can merge the data in FT.
