Webform Share

Webform Share enables you to export the configuration for an existing webform and either import into another webform or use it to create default webform components for a webform-enabled content type.

There are three main use cases for this module:

1. To build a webform on a development site and import it into production.
2. To use a set of components from a form in other forms on your site.
3. To define and apply a default set of webform components and settings for each content-type.

Differences from Drupal 7

• Exports as JSON array rather than PHP array definiton so no need to use the eval() function; because of this, there is no upgrade path.
• Content type defaults moved from publishing options to Webform tab.
• Content type defaults can be set from a node of the same content type.
• Configuration moved to Configuration Management.
• Some re-wording to improve clarity.

Requirements

This module requires that the following modules are also enabled:

• Webform

Installation

• Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/extend-with-modules.

1. Navigate to the node and click the "Webform" tab.
2. Click the "Export" button.

The webform configuration will download in a .json file.

Import

1. Navigate to an existing or new node of a content type where webforms are enabled and click the "Webform" tab
2. Click the "Import" button
3. Paste the contents of the .json file you downloaded into the "Import code" text area.
4. If you want to keep any existing components in your webform then check the "Keep existing components that are not included in the import" option.
5. If you want to keep the email and form settings and just override the components and conditionals check the "Update components and conditionals only" option.

Setting default webform components for content type

From the same site and content type

1. Navigate to the node and click the "Webform" tab.

From another site, or content type

3. Click on the "Webform" sub-tab.
4. Note that if you haven't previously enabled Webforms for this content-type then you will need to enable, "Save Content Type" and return to the "Webform" sub-tab.
