Can I attach a document to a form?

Is it possible to import FormCreator forms from one instance to another?

The import/export action is made to migrate data from a pre-production instance to a production one (implied rigorously identical). Importing a form from another instance that is not identical will fail or will be imported only partially.

---

Why are there special characters in all or some of my tickets?

This can happen after a migration or update of GLPI (and/or the plugin). There is a command in the GLPI CLI to correct this anomaly. This is provided by the FormCreator plugin.

Know before entering the order

As a precaution, we strongly recommend that you perform a backup of your instance and database. We also invite you to implement this patch. Here is the procedure to apply a patch

Command to enter from your GLPI file: php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/console plugins:formcreator:clean_tickets
