I’m looking for a way to add a form for members in our support category, and ran across several posts about form templates. However, I can’t actually find this feature in my install. I am self hosted and on the latest build. Any help would be appreciated!

We need to update that topic (or move the “documentation” part to a non-announcement documentation topic…), but the form template feature is now an Upcoming change : [afbeelding] Upcoming Changes Navigate to Admin > Upcoming Changes (or visit /admin/config/upcoming-changes). [image]

Are you referring to this? If it is not enabled you need to enable it following the directions. [afbeelding] Introducing Experimental Form Templates megaphoneAnnouncements Hello, Discourse Meta Community! We are excited to introduce a new experimental feature…

This is exactly what I’m referring to. However, when I search settings for experimental_form_templates, nothing is returned.

I can confirm they work in the latest build - not sure how that works with hosted product offering though - but they still exist in the standard install . They are enabled in the Category settings under Template.

Hmmm…Let me keep digging. I am running a self hosted install, and I assume it is the standard install . I didn’t do anything different…

Are form templates still a thing?
