Reported here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/multiple-form-templates-for-a-catego…ry-doesnt-work/398176 We weren't tracking changes in formkit for the form template settings when `enable simplified category creation` is enabled... so the save button wasn't appearing and admins couldn't save changes here. <img width="1512" height="1258" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d867cfdd-7dd4-41a3-8ed1-674233730e18" /> This flows the changes through formkit properly so admins get a save button and can use the functionality again. Also added tests for both the legacy and updated forms for this so it doesn't regress.
