[Qgis-user] Saving QGIS attribute form?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Brent,

The form configuration is saved both in the .qml and also the .qlr files.
You can "copy" or "export" the "Fields" and the "Forms" part (or
everything) to a .qml file and load it in another project.

You can access the "Style" export on right-clicking on the layer --> Styles
--> Copy Style --> Style Section. Or at the bottom of the layer properties
dialog "Style" button.

Greetings,
Andreas
