    Do I need to change GUID's in Contour form template?

    I'm working on my own custom Contour form template and I use the template "Contact form.ucf" as a starting point for my new template. In this template there are a lot of GUID's and I'm just wondering if I need to change these? An example of which parameters I'm talking about:

    <Id>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</Id>
    <FieldSet>3dce7e6e-6b94-4b4f-9e43-58f1687d980b</FieldSet>
    <Form>6f2903fc-e27a-4d68-88d7-8d948746a6fe</Form>
    <FieldTypeId>023f09ac-1445-4bcb-b8fa-ab49f33bd046</FieldTypeId>

    I guess the FieldTypeId need's to correspond to the field type(s) that I want in my form, but what about the Form GUID? If I use this template to create a lot of different forms, will they get the same Form GUID? If so I guess this will cause me problems since I want each form to be separate from the others?

    Looking at the Id GUID in the example above it seems to follow some sort of different standard where it's all zeros. Could I use this instead or should I just leave them blank?

    It would be great to get some background info regarding the GUID's in a template and how they affect the result when I use the template to create forms.

    Hi Thomas,

    You can just export a form and that will end up with a form template so no need to manually change anything...

    Aha!

    So I first make a form in Contour just like I want it to be and then export that form and it will become a template. Then when I use this template to create the multiple forms that I want and they will get their own individual GUID's so they don't interfere with eachother?

    Thanks Tim!

    Sometimes the solution is just too easy so you don't even notice it.
