 +In Workflow Manager, changes to the form structure (eg new columns, changed column options) will be applied as soon as a new LIVE form is published - ie the form definition from the current LIVE form will always be used.  This is also true for the behaviour of the dashboard, automated processes, etc... the current LIVE form always dictates behaviour. ​ ALT forms can have different appearances,​ but not different behaviour.
