  1. Hi,
    In orbeon-4.0.0.M14-PE FB was a usefull button "save as" which copy a form definition and save with other name. But in M15, M16 there is no button "save as". How can we copy a form definition now?

  2. There is this issue, which we didn't think we could fix in time for 4.0:

    https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/issues/269

    So for now we disabled this button:

    Is this something you badly need?

    1. Yes, it is very usefull button. Because we have a lot of the same forms and it's easy to just copy form definition. Regarding the issue, we don't have any atachments in the form.

  3. now in Repeat Section we can't give a name to a textoutput cell in every row. Only one name as header. It's not practical. That's why we can't make a simple table with headers in first column and first row like in MS Excel. It will be nice if you make cell borders in grid section like in repeat section too.
