Cloning is how you create new forms in Bloomerang Fundraising. When you clone a form, you have the option to start from scratch with a default form or include attributes from the existing form. By cloning attributes, you can bring over some or all of the existing form’s settings.

This article defines each attribute for Donation Forms, Peer-to-Peer Campaigns, and Auction Events.

Please note: Only organization administrators can clone forms.
