Transition to new/updated form

Question

Hi All,I need to make changes to the main form used by a table. The change would consist of taking an existing muti-select field and break it out into discrete fields making it easier from a reporting standpoint for other applications like Hadoop. What is the best approach to transitioning to an updated form, where I can use the older version of the form for reviewing older records, and then the updated version of the form when creating new records. I want to maintain reference to old form for historical purposes, but start to utilize the new form going forward. This is a legacy form for awareness and I'm hoping to keep using the existing form without having the need to create a new form all together. My initial thought was to use a hard fast date as the cutover, and I was going to leverage Date Created in a dynamic rule but noticed that doesn't get stamped until the record is saved. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this when the form loads to create new entries?Thanks in advance!-Scott

I suggest that you leave your multi-select field exactly as it is, but then make a series of Formula fields which you could use in reports or for exports&nbsp; to Hadoop.&nbsp; That would solve your issue in a simple way, right?&nbsp; No change in the user experience?

Hi Mark, as always thanks for the input! That approach might just work, instead of overhauling the form itself.
