Hello,

 

I understand this question has been raised multiple times, but I'm still searching for a clear answer. In New Responsive Forms, repeating sections utilize GUIDs for data storage, unlike the "normal names" used in Classic Forms. Is there a method to transition away from using GUIDs for New Responsive Forms and make it in line with Classic Forms?

 

Please see the sample XML below:

Hi @Evgenii G. 

I did some quick testing and it doesn't appear that you can change the internal field names, I will ask around and see what I can find out for you. 

In meantime can I ask if it is for a specific use case or just for quality of life?

Hi @Jake 

We have some workflows processing the XMLs from the Classic Forms. And we are migrating the forms from the classic to the new responsive designer. Ideally, we would like to use the same workflows with the New Responsive Forms, but if there is no way to change the XML element names, then we will have to do the extra work with the migration of the workflows as well.

Hi @Evgenii G. 

 

I agree, It is something I have come across before, I will see what I can find out for you.
