# Error when duplicating form

 * Hi,
 * I’ve encountered the following issue: when duplicating an existing form, the 
   new form is created with the same ID as the old one. As a result, the old form
   is automatically replaced with the newly created form. After this process the
   form title changes to “Title_copy”, even though there is still just 1 form.
 * So essentially the duplicate function does not work.
 * I’ve tried disabling WPML translations for CF7, disabling various other plugins,
   updating the template, and everything else is also up to date.
 * Is there anything else I can to to troubleshoot this?
 * Thanks.

 * We have the exact same issue. When clicking on “Duplicate” on an existing form,
   it simply just updates the form label by appending “copy” but it doesn’t issue
   a new form id. So what’s been happening is we’re overwriting forms thinking it’s
   a new one. What’s the solution? [@takayukister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/)
