Did you copy forms only?
You need to copy fields category too.

No I haven´t copied the fields - The two layer has different fields (table structure) only in the Form they share fields.
If I copy fields wouldn´t it change the table structure ?
Another question - I can´t copy / paste both at the same time - Then how do I perform the action ?

In 3.2 it worked - except for different geometry types - If I saved the style into a file and deleted the Geometry part, it worked as wanted.
Now I can´t even use save style.

You just need to use copy all style categories to have everything coming along.
Otherwise, if you need a specific combination:

• do it one after the other
• use the dialog in vector layer properties to export to file the specific categories you want to export.

I don't see a regression here.
The save style dialog is still accessible (and now can be configured with specific categories, so no need to manually edit the file)

---

• regression was changed from 1 to 0

No I don´t want to copy all styles...
The main problem is that copying the fields is in my mind the data structure - correct me if I´m wrong - and that´s not what I want. I want the entire attribute form - including the widget type and filter expression - see image.

well, the configuration of the widget is actually the field category of the style categories. At the moment, you cannot choose some specific fields you would like to copy.

but I think we are maybe misunderstanding.

when you copy "fields" in the style menu, it doesn't copy the fields but their configuration.

So in your case, you can copy/paste fields then copy/paste form and this should work.

It still doesnt work.
If I copy a form and paste to another layer - nothing happens.
If i copy all and just past the form it doesnt work either.
I don´t want to copy past all.
