The Cloner feature is a native functionality included in nuBuilder v4.5.

With the Cloner feature, you can effortlessly duplicate any Form, along with its objects, events, subforms, and iframe (run) forms. This duplication can be done in SQL format, making it convenient for importing into any other nuBuilder 4.5 installation. Not only can forms be cloned, but their subforms can also be included for seamless import into another database.

Features

  • Clone/duplicate a form with all its objects, events, subforms, iframe (run) forms
  • Choose to include specific form tabs
  • Copy objects to either a new form or an existing one
  • Dump the SQL INSERT statements to the browser window or let them execute directly by nuBuilder.
  • Generate SQL INSERT statements, which can be previewed and modified as needed before execution. You can run these statements with your preferred database tool, such as phpMyAdmin or Adminer.

Use cases

  • Clone a form to test changes before implementing them in the live system
  • Export a form from one database and import it into another
  • Create a duplicate of a form when a similar one is required, saving time and effort compared to starting from scratch
  • Copy a group of controls from one form to another form
