Recently I installed the experimental form templates
> [@Introducing Form Templates](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-experimental-form-templates/278631/69):
>
> Our CSS changes (so far) In case it’s helpful to someone else: // remove the grey background .d-editor #form-template-form { background-color: var(--secondary); } // stop stretching the fields to 100% width .form-template-field select, .form-template-field input { width: auto; } .form-template-field textarea { min-width: 650px; width: auto; }
feature as reported, but after creating a form for the category, the “create topic” button did not work.
Do I need to install anything else to enable this feature?

No as long as you enable the feature in settings, create a template and assign it to a category it’ll work.
Are there any errors in logs and does it occur in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true)?

Thank you, after trying to turn off the plugins one by one, the form template feature is working, they are affected by the “[Perspective Api](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-google-perspective-api-plugin/98733)” plugin, this is an offical plugin, I hope the discourse team can check and correct it.

@hoangphuctran93 / @David_Ghost could you share the following so that I can better diagnose this issue?
- the form template(s) used
- the perspective settings you have changed
If you can manage to reproduce the issue with a minimum of changes, that would be greatly appreciated as well 👍
Thanks
