Hello, @angus I have noticed that with the plugin installed and enabled it appears to shift the “More” button to the center instead of keeping it in the left. Any idea why this occurs? Thanks.

Can the data captured thru the form be immediately displayed in a table in a topic?

Hey @ppcole, yes it can. You would need to use the a “Create Topic” action and the “Post Builder” for that. You can read further and follow up here:

@angus, can rows be added to the previously created table as members complete the form or does a new table have to be created?

There’s currently no way of doing that. But if you send me a PM on [coop.pavilion.tech](https://coop.pavilion.tech) we can discuss further.

This appears to have changed at the start of this year - brilliant!! No more sword of [Damocles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damocles) up there!
I’ve just started using the Custom Wizard Plugin again after a break; I’m impressed by just how refined and robust it is now - and how it can cater for many edge cases that aren’t covered by core or the official plugin / TC ecosystem. Or indeed, it can refine and join up some of them quite effectively.
My latest little project where it has been super helpful has been overcoming the challenging UI for [Discourse Calendar and Events](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-calendar-and-event/97376), which is admin-friendly rather than user-friendly.

Hey guys
has anyone tested CW plugin with 3.6beta1? The composer image upload seems to be broken.
Tested with latest commit [f331ad2](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-custom-wizard/commit/f331ad276b1755b7f9effa950f330fdaccd8dff3)

I’m trying to get the subscription information to look into upgrading, but every reference to the pricing page is a broken link - [https://custom-wizard.pavilion.tech/pricing/](https://custom-wizard.pavilion.tech/pricing/)
What is the current URL?

I think a subscription is no longer needed. The information was removed from the first post in summer.
And there was also a change in the code that seems related [Remove subscription restrictions #1 · paviliondev/discourse-custom-wizard@01fe27d · GitHub](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-custom-wizard/commit/01fe27d15807798eb058311d9838bff67558ff16)

Ah! That explains it then. Thanks!
I guess my next question is…how to set this up? There’s not documentation that I can find on the Pavilion website, unless I’m missing something - [Discourse Custom Wizard - Pavilion](https://coop.pavilion.tech/c/documentation/discourse-custom-wizard/82)
I think where I’ve been confused is that on this page: [Wizard Administration - Discourse Custom Wizard - Pavilion](https://coop.pavilion.tech/t/wizard-administration/1602) It’s indicated that there should be a site setting enabled, but `wizard_apis_enabled` is not in the site settings:
> Site Settings
>
> - `custom_wizard_enabled`: Disable this to prevent custom wizards from being used.
> - `wizard_redirect_exclude_paths`: Paths that cannot be redirected to from a wizard.
> - `wizard_recognised_image_upload_formats`: Upload types that will treated as images.
> - `wizard_apis_enabled`: Enable wizard API features. This is experimental and has not been thoroughly tested. Use with caution.
Assuming though that it’s just enabled by default now, I’m not quite sure how to go about setting it up, because the `Select an API` dropdown and the `Select an endpoint` dropdown are both blank and I’m not sure what the steps are to populate those dropdowns.
I thought that it might be because we weren’t subscribed, but given that subscriptions aren’t a thing, I’m not quite sure where to go from here.

Yikes, that is a proper breaking change!
I can confirm that it was still working on 2026.3.0-latest ([31ae4b0421](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/31ae4b04212d91e4d5de54e9673775ab3833e0f4))

It was enabled by default 2 days ago

Setting `ROLLUP_PLUGIN_COMPILER: 0` did indeed help. Thank you!

Hmmm - didn’t work for me though.
Perhaps I did it wrong; I included this in my app.yml in the env: section
```plaintext
DISCOURSE_ROLLUP_PLUGIN_COMPILER: 0
```
But despite this, after a rebuild / update just now, /admin/wizards and /w are inaccessible.

Just `ROLLUP_PLUGIN_COMPILER` without the prefix worked for me

Please bear in mind that this option will not be available for much longer. As soon as custom-wizard is fixed, I recommend you switch back to to the new compiler.
