Im building a new site for a client on 8.17. The old site i 7.5.3
Im not upgrading, installing from scratch.
But client has a number of forms they would like to carry with them.
How do i move these froms from a 7.5.3 site to 8.17?
There is no import/export, and moving the json file to /App_plugins/Umbracoforms/Data does nothing...
Hi Claushingebjerg
In the shiniest newest version of Umbraco Forms (v9), the definitions for the forms are stored in the database (like Contour!) - and not the files on disk.
There is some advice here:

About first installing V8 of Forms, copy across your files then upgrade to v9 that might help.

Thanks Mark.
Im using Form 8.8.0. So im good there i think, but still have no idea how to move forms. They do not seem to exist on disk...
Aha Claushingebjerg!
So they could still be in the database in V8 it seems:
https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/Developer/Forms-in-the-Database/index-v8
in V9 they can ONLY be in the database, but in V8 can be both:
have a look in the UmbracoForms config file: App_Plugins\UmbracoForms\UmbracoForms.config
So if in your new instance you set that to false, and copy the files into the UmbracoForms/Data folder do they appear?
