Otherwise I think it would get pretty confusing and out of hand... any time an Option List changes there would be multiple versions assigned to the same field, so depending on when it was first submitted, it would show different options. Bit weird and very hard to keep track of.
Thanks Ben. You are right and this functionality does make sense.

I had hoped to use the form builder to manage a single "job application" form with a slowly changing list of available positions, allowing applicants to apply for multiple positions with one application.
The way you describe the long-term management of this data, however, maybe it would be better if we create a separate copy of the form for each job, submitting to the same database?
I will give that a try, thanks!

PS. I can't enable my "translator account" (I'd like to help out with Japanese!). It shows a "cannot find database" error. Is the system not online yet?
