Ability to Export/Import Form Snippets
I'd like the ability to save a panel as a snippet, similar to how you can export/import snippets in Nintex Workflow, this would be powerful to easily incorporate new functionality between similar forms, or promote between environments. Instead of building it from scratch every time, you can just import a snippet and save some time. I'm not sure if you'd be able to package up any rules/associated to columns from a technical perspective, but just importing a panel would be a huge time saver.

Thanks for your suggestion. We certainly see value in this idea and have added it to the backlog, but it is not scheduled at this time.
Cheers,

Hi, may I know if this idea is still in the backlog or has been scrapped?
It is very difficult for us to append existing form except by import or by adding the controls manually for each forms which is very tedious -

I also would find this very helpful. We have many similar forms within workflows and any change is tedious and prone to errors.

These would be ideal, since I re-use many of the same concepts across forms and having to reformat them, when using custom formatting would save me a tremendous amount of time.
Bring this to the forefront and not the backlog.....

The concept is similar to the UDA of Nintex workflow, It will be great if we could design part of the forms and save it as a user defined form control. This will be especially useful if you have many task forms and would like them to be consistent. If change is required, all we need is to modify the form control and it will apply to all the task forms.

It is especially useful if you have lots of task forms. A snippets-like function should help to reduce the time needed to make changes to those forms.

It was a proposal from one of my customers too.
They've got about 20 forms or more and each one has one or more panels, similar on each form (for example : a panel with labels and fields to fill a postal address). Using a custom snippet would be powerful.
