A child form is a type of smart online form based on another form, called the parent form. Child forms are used to create a copy of another form (their parent) with minor adjustments, such as hiding specific fields.
Overview
The "Parent / Child Forms" guide explains how to create, manage, and interact with child forms in Smarter Drafter. Child forms inherit content from a parent form, allowing minor adjustments without duplicating the form structure, making it easy to manage similar forms across jurisdictions or audiences.
