If this were Form Master for DNN3/4 I would have a easy method you could use, but for DNN2 there is no Import/Export interface.

There is a way but you have to be good with SQL, and XML, and cannot be an existing form with Report Records Attached.

1. Fire up your Query tool
2. Find the ModuleID by selecting Manage Form from the Action menu and look in the url
3. Select FormDefinition from C5SLLC_Form where ModuleID = XXX
4. Make sure you get the entire definition from the Form to /Form
5. Load up the Form Definition in your favorite XML editor
6. Copy the Dropdownlist in question and paste into the document. Make sure you get the entire element from Control to /Control do not include any Validators you can add these after.
7. The ID attribute is made up of DateTime, modify this so if is unique in the document for the pasted Control
8. Change the Label Attribute as this can't be duplicates in DNN2.
9. Save this XML document as BaseForm.xml
10. Navigate to DesktopModules\Code5Systems_FormMaster\assets\xml
11. Rename BaseForm.xml to BaseForm_BAK.xml
12. Copy the Newly created BaseForm.xml to the folder in #10 above
13. Delete the record in #3 above from the database using Delete From C5SLLC_Form where ModuleID = XXX
14. Fire up your DNN site and navigate to the Form you are working on. Form Master will discover there is not a record in the database for it's moduleID and will load the BaseForm.xml from the Folder in #10 above.
15. Revert the BaseForm.xml to the Original one.
16. Settings for the form will not be preserved like the Name, the Send To action etc. and will have to be set manually.

Note: In DNN3/4 forms can be duplicated using Import/Export in DNN2 this method can be used.

Thanks a lot for that !
