[Portfolio] Adding a form to a published portfolio

[Sean Keesler]

So, my understanding of it is that changing a form already in use (ie.
already filled out by someone) is not going be allowed. The rationale
there is that the "schema" for the form defines what is valid data and
that changing the rules after students have already started playing by
them is not cool. The warnings are a bit overly conservative (as you
just found out).
