To copy a password-protected form element from one page to another in Webflow without encountering the "There can only be one instance of this element on the page" error, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a new form on the destination page: Start by adding a new form element to the destination page where you want to copy the password-protected form. You can do this by dragging and dropping the Form element from the Elements panel onto your page.

  2. Set up the password protection: Configure the password protection settings for the new form element on the destination page. To do this, select the new form element, go to the Settings panel, and navigate to the "Form Settings" tab. Here, you can set up a password by clicking on the "Enable password protection" checkbox and entering the desired password.

  3. Copy the form fields: Copy the form fields from the original page to the new form element on the destination page. You can achieve this by selecting each form element on the original page and then copying and pasting them onto the new form element on the destination page.

  4. Customize form settings: After copying the form fields, you may need to customize the form settings on the destination page to match the original page. This includes configuring any additional settings such as the success and error messages, email notifications, integrations, etc.

  5. Update form actions: Finally, make sure to update the form actions (success and error redirects) on the destination page if needed. This ensures that the form behaves correctly and redirects to the appropriate pages after submission.

By following these steps, you should be able to copy a password-protected form element from one page to another in Webflow without experiencing the "There can only be one instance of this element on the page" error.
