After this you'll be able to reuse a form or process from your last project without dragging the old customer's details along.

Reusing work is how building buys time back. I don't have to solve the same problem every Tuesday. But drag the old details along, and your new software very efficiently does the last guy's job: his questions, his phone number, his answers going to his team.
A form, a follow-up process, a page. Write down the layout, every question, the wording, the checks, who can see it, where the answers go, and every name, number and business fact.
What carries over. What belongs to that customer. When you're not sure, it goes on the second list.
If you're having AI adapt it, tell it what to keep, what to replace, and to flag anything that still looks like the old customer instead of guessing. The prompt is below.
Questions, wording, access, destinations, phone numbers, service areas. Nothing moves over unreviewed.
Check the saved record, the confirmation message, the alert and who can see it.
Their name, phone number and website. If anything turns up, it's not done.
Paste this into your AI tool and fill in the brackets:

Don't guess at business facts. Leave [FILL IN] instead.Last spring you built a lead form for Bright Ridge Roofing. Now you need a demo request form for a scheduling app called PlanRight.
Carries over: the layout, the check that stops a form going out without a phone number, the thank-you page design. Belongs to the roofer: "How old is your roof?", "Is this an insurance claim?", the service-area list, Bright Ridge's number in the confirmation text, and answers going to the roofer's sales team.
New questions: company size, what they use now, best time for a demo. Answers go to the person who runs demos. Then a fake lead, "TEST Demo Check," runs through. The record and alert are right. The confirmation text still shows Bright Ridge's phone number. Good catch, before a real prospect calls a roofer about scheduling software.
Take the part that works. Leave the old customer's phone number behind. Reusable doesn't mean photocopy it and pray.
