A form merging system for merging a primary form and a secondary form includes a relationship determination module adapted to determine a relationship between a primary form element on the primary form and a secondary form element on the secondary form and a form element addition module adapted to add the secondary form element to the primary form based on the relationship between the primary form element and a secondary form element. The form merging system allows the primary form customized by a user to be merged with various fields from a newly updated secondary form in an automatic manner.
