Supose I create a form, name it `Join-in negotiation checklist` and publish it, and I get contacts from that form and I see the history of the contact and I see "this contact filled form `Join-in negotiation checklist`. 2 months later I realize this was a B2B lead-magnet and I create a new funnel, new automation and new form for B2C and I create the form `Join-in negotiation B2C checklist`. For for coherence I want to rename the first form from `Join-in negotiation checklist` into `Join-in negotiation B2B checklist`… If I change my mind about the form name, once people started to come in from there, what are the consequences? PD: Relates to this one about renaming tags: [Can tags be renamed? What happens to history?](https://forum.mautic.org/t/can-tags-be-renamed-what-happens-to-history/25786) ---

When you create a from, corresponding table is created in database. If you change the name will update, but the table in database will not. I do not see any reason why renaming the form via GUI would be problematic. Regards, M.
