The custom-wizard fix is now merged. @nathank @nesges if you have the time, would you mind re-enabling the rollup plugin compiler and see how you get on?

I just updated, removed the env variable and rebuilt. I can confirm the Wizard is functional. Thanks for your quick fix! â€

Yup, working fine here too after removing that line from app.yml and rebuilding.
Thanks for sorting that so quickly!

I just discovered the plugin, which is truly amazing once you know how to use it!!
Iâm encountering an issue with the location section. Iâm using the plugin to create a topic with location + event. Everything works fine except that my topic doesnât appear on the map. I have to go back into my topic and re-confirm the postal address, and then my topic reappears on the map. I donât know if anyone else has encountered this problem.

Since the last Discourse update (\*\*2026.4.0-latest), I am unable to assign a form to the âCreate Topicâ button. In the advanced settings for the category, I can select my form, but I cannot save it.
Does anyone else using the plugin have the same issue?
Thank you.

Hello,
I wanted to know if itâs possible to dynamically load a list into a dropdown field by typing text into a text field, for example, using a script?
My goal is to type the name of a game and use an API to fetch a list that I will then load into the dropdown field.
This is because I didnât quite understand the configuration of the various fields like prefill, conditions, etc.
Thank you.

Hi đ
Iâm trying to use the wizard to personalise the sign-up / onboarding of my forum.
Basically after email verification, users are shown the wizardâŠ
Each step presents a part of the forum rules/covenant and requires an action.
Most are just a checkbox agreement.
One is a dropdown.
I need to âvalidateâ the answer so that if it is correct they go on to the next step, and if it is wrong they canât progress.
Problems:
1. I seem unable to do exactly that.
A field can be ârequiredâ and block progress if not used, but there is no way to do a validation check.
2. so I hacked validation by crafting 2 steps: one for TRUE and one for FALSE, and used the conditions in those steps to see if the previous step was filled out correctly.
ButâŠ
This screws with the wizard progress bar, as the validation steps functionally âdonât existâ until conditions are met, so the progress first looks shorter, then longer.
It looks bad, and if you go back or reload it can be confusing.
ButâŠ
The FALSE step still always has to have a button in addition to the âbackâ link. Depending on how I configure things this appears as NEXT or DONE, but in either case I donât want it. The user is supposed to hit a wall and be asked to go back to revise their answers.
SoâŠ
I hacked a wall by attaching an Action at the end of this step, to route the user back to the questionnaire step.
Itâs inelegant, but it works.
SoâŠ
Am I missing something?
Is there a better way to achieve my goals and fix mi problems? đ
EDIT:
Also, on mobile the progress bar partly covers the Back and Next buttons.

I think the custom wizard plugin is no longer maintained, even though the plugin itself is very interesting and powerful đ
The best option would be to have a plugin where we can create macros or customizable scenarios that would allow us to use various plugins to address every use case within the Discourse community.

Iâve addressed this. Please update to the latest version of the plugin.
@Hasimir What youâre suggesting is quite doable using the regular functionality of the plugin. Have you checked out the documentation?

If there are any other current confirmed issues please highlight them with specific details and I can address them.

Thanks for the reply đ

I am trying, but Iâm not finding the info I need.
Here is my specific need:
- I need a wizard where each Step (including step\_1) has a dropdown with three options.
Done â
- If the user picks the correct option, the ânextâ button works and lets them move forward.
Done â
- If the user picks a wrong option, the ânextâ button does not work.
I canât find a way to do this â
Am I missing something in the official documentation that would allow me to do what I need in a better way? đ

I have a site with these two options active:
```plaintext
Login required
Invite only
```
Therefore, itâs a 100% private forum. How can I create a public form using this plugin? It would be very helpful.

It used to have that functionality, but was only available to enterprise clients (back when it was a subscription plugin). I suspect that it has been removed from the code now though.
It would be super helpful to have it available; perhaps it is buried in there somewhere.

Yeah idk how to fix it. might require forking the plugin and figuring out why it causes it.

If Iâm reading you correctly, what you want is a step conditional and / or validation on a user-selected value? If so please check out

You canât currently override the `login required` and `invite only` protections with the custom wizard plugin.

How do I delete all received submissions? And why isnât there an option to delete them individually? I mean, even if I delete the custom wizard, if I import another JSON file with the same ID, I will still be able to access all previously received submissions.
And on the other hand, is it possible to send an email to the admin with the information the user entered in the form? The âSend Messageâ button doesnât seem to work.

You canât through the admin console. You can delete submission data in the rails console.

Yup, thatâs expected!

It works đ
For example if you fill out this simple wizard I just created it will send me a message

What command should I use to delete from Rails?
I was able to verify that it does send an email.

Thanks⊠but I already looked those documents up.
For the life of me, I seem unable to find the âadvancedâ options for the **Dropdown** field đ„
This is what I see as a âclean/newâ fieldâŠ
Do I need to enable the feature from somewhere else?
This is my actual field with logic and allâŠ

Me neither - I can only see them for the Text fields, and then it is just **Similar Topics** :
@angus - I think that this feature must have been removed when subscriptions were dropped, and the documentation didnât catch up.
