Hi Bob,
The manual approach:
1. Export all directly related object of the form to a def-file.
2. Rename your form.
3. Create a new Regular form.
4. Copy/Paste all the fields into the new form
(table-fields will change ids and needs to be manually changed, which can
be tricky. You can not copy/paste Page-fields, so these need to be
manually recreated.
5. Delete the renamed form.
6. Import the workflow objects from your original def-export.
The geek-approach:
1. Export all directly related object of the form to workflow.def
2. Export only the form to originalform.def
3. Delete the form
4. Create a Regular Form (with the name of your original form)
5. Export the regular form to regularform.def
6. Open both originalform.def and regularform.def in notepad.
7. Update the num-fields setting in regularform.def
8. Paste all the fields from originalform.def into regularform.def
9. Import regularform.def and then workflow.def into your server
The problem you have with both solutions is that all the fields are
Display-only, except the core fields introduced by the regular form.
If you are geeky enough, you may want to fix this before you import the
def. But it may be easier to do the following after you have done the
above:
1. Select the fields to convert to data-fields
2. Do a Ctrl-X to cut them from the form
3. Save the form
4. Do a Ctrl-C to paste the fields back into the form
5. Edit each field and change the Entry-Mode to Optional/Required.
