I'm not sure if there's a better way, but can you duplicate the form,
add or remove columns as needed to match the target, then use that as
your saved form?

In other words, instead of copying one form and trying to make it fit
onto a different structure, can you modify the source form/structure so
you get a new saved form that already matches the updated structure?

I'm assuming you're talking about copying and pasting the "Attributes
Form" from one layer to another but I could be misunderstanding.

Cheers,
Adam.
