Cloner

The Cloner feature is available natively in nuBuilder v4.5.

Any Form can be cloned with or without its objects in SQL format to be imported into any other installation of nuBuilder 4.5. This not only applies to forms but to its subforms as well for import into another database.

Features

• Clone/duplicate a form with all its objects, events, subforms, iframe (run) forms
• Include only certain form tabs
• Copy objects to a new or existing form
• Dump the SQL INSERT statements to the browser window or let them execute directly by nuBuilder. The former allows you to verify (and modify if necssary) the statements before running them with your database tool of choice (e.g. phpMyAdmin, 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
