How to Edit a Compound Input Type

The Edit Compound Input Type feature allows administrators to update existing compound structures while maintaining a consistent experience across forms that use them. This feature is useful when business requirements change, such as updating item sources, modifying questions, adjusting filters, or refining the information employees need to capture during field activities. Each compound retains its unique identity and version history, making it easier to manage long-term form configurations while keeping related forms aligned with the latest requirements.

Changes made to a compound can affect multiple forms and nested compounds that depend on it, which is why the system provides impact visibility before updates are applied. Once saved, referenced forms automatically receive updated structures for future use, while ongoing visitations and previously submitted reports continue to use their original snapshots. This approach helps ensure data consistency, protects historical records, and allows organizations to evolve their data collection processes without disrupting active field operations.
