Accidentally Deleted Calendar Field and Booking Data Recovery

Urgent help needed

i deleted my calendar field in error on my booking form. how do i retrieve it as well as all the bookings made to date

Hi Nadia,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Let me help you with that:

If you deleted the calendar field in your booking form by mistake, unfortunately, there is no direct way to restore a deleted form field. You will need to add a new calendar field to your form manually.

Regarding the bookings made to date, those submissions should still be available in your form's submission data unless they were deleted separately. You can check and manage your submissions in Jotform Tables.

Here’s how to restore any deleted submissions if needed:

1. Open Jotform Tables for your form.
2. Click on the tab menu at the top and select Trashed entries.
3. Select the deleted submissions you want to recover and click Restore.

Restored submissions will reappear in your table.

If you need to recreate the calendar field, you can add it again from the form builder by selecting the calendar field element.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

please can i speak to a person

Hi Nadia,

Hi Nadia,

The best way to recover a deleted field like your calendar is to restore your form from the revision history first. This will bring back the exact version of your form before the field was removed, preserving the original setup and all associated data. After restoring, you can go to your Tables view to access all the submissions, including the booking data linked to that calendar field, to download your submission data. You can use the Revision History feature that lets you revert your form back to an older version you select. Let me show you how to use it:

1. In Form Builder, click on the Circular Arrow icon at the top middle of the page to open the Revision History menu.
2. In the menu on the right side of the page, select the version you want to restore the form to. 
3. Now, just click on Revert next to the version you select, and then close the Revision History menu in the top right corner.

You can also easily download your data from Jotform Tables as a CSV, Excel, or PDF file. Let me show you how:

1. On your My Tables page, hover over the form whose data you want to download, and click on View Table.
2. On the upper-right side of the page, click the on Download All button. 
3. Now, select Download as CSV, Excel, or PDF to download your data.
