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!

Are you referring to this? If it is not enabled you need to enable it following the directions.

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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true).
They are enabled in the Category settings under Template.

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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-changes/395390):
