How to change the tab name of your cloned form

    Hi,

    I have a question regarding the title tag of the webpage of my forms. I created an original form and cloned it to make different variations; however, although I changed the title of these forms in the form settings and the title tag is the title of my form when I am editing, the public URL that is provided to send out for users to fill out the form opens up the right form every time, but with an outdated title tag.


    For example, the original form is called "Natura New Customer Account Set Up Form." I cloned this form to create "New Customer Account Set Up Form." The difference is one is customer specific, while the other version is a generic copy, given there are some options that vary depending on what type of customer we are sending the form to.

    With that being said, here is the Natura New Customer Account Set Up Form, build view:

    Notice the webpage tab name - the title tag - is Natura New Customer Account Set Up Form. That's good!

    Now let's look at this form from the link provided in Form Publish > Quick Share > Share with link PUBLIC FORM > Open in new tab. I've also shared this link with a coworker who gets the same view:

    Notice the webpage tab name is still Natura New Customer Account Set Up Form - Great!


    Now, let's look at the cloned copy of this form that I have edited: New Customer Account Set Up form:

    Pretty similar, but obviously different. Notice the webpage tab name - New Customer Account Set Up Form - Great!!

    Now, let's look at this form by viewing that shareable link, like we did before:

    Notice the tab name - Natura New Customer Account Set Up Form - even though we are in New Customer Account Setup Form. See the tab next to it in my browser?

    That is the actual Natura New Customer Account Set Up Form:

    Why does the tab name not change with this link? I figured it was something to do with me cloning the form? Here is an example of a similar one I am working on - Order Form:

    As you can see, the tab names are the same for all these forms. Why is this? Can we edit this?

    Just something I noticed as I was working with a coworker and we were curious if it could be changed.


    Please let me know.

    Hi Broadfielda,

    Thanks for you reaching out Jotform Support. To change the tab name of your cloned form so you can differentiate it from the original, here’s how to do it:

    1. Go to Form Builder's Settings tab.
    2. Click Show More Options button.
    3. Scroll down and search for Page Title
