The Formidable Forms documentation says they don't recommend putting the same form twice on a page - https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/publish-a-form/#kb-limitations

Thanks you @Rob. i couldn't find anything about it, so thank you for pointing to this.

That's a real hard limitation, especially for land pages. really disappointing

Two things:
1. You can always try it and hack around the limitations. FF says it's not recommended rather than impossible, though I'd discourage that.
2. What is your use case such that you feel two instances of the same form is required?

1. I guess. for now i did js, that syncs all the forms, but i don't like it a lot.

2. i have landing pages that i need the same form twice (once on the top and once on the bottom) to get leads from clients. (it is recommended by the marketing experts)
