New form does not work as expected

[julian]

I used the new form to build a signup form. However, it seems there is a bug with password fields: even though the password is clearly added, it is not shown in the form field values - which results in not being able to submit the form. Why is that?

[DanielL]

Hi, are you still having this issue? If so what does the settings tab of your password input look like?

[julian]

@DanielL the problem has not been fixed. This is what the settings tab of the password field looks like:

I now have set a field name for the password field, and with a defined field name, it worked (however, there is nowhere any information that this is required!). Also, it seems that “isSubmitting” and “isSubmitted” are not working - the properties don’t change to “true” when the form is submitting/submitted!

Is there any documentation anywhere how this form validation is actually supposed to work? The object “local.data” with “formData” and “fields” was released only with this new form - what are they used for?

Where did you set the “field name”? I’m experiencing this same issue with a form on a couple fields types. The local.data items are not including all the form fields.

Look at the screenshot that I posted, there you see the “field name” field

Right, perhaps my issue is the ‘Date Picker’ component doesn’t have this “Field Name” option…

Yea, I’m experiencing the same issue. When adding a date picker to a form, the element and its data is not available in the local.data.form

Hi guys, could you please contact chat support with your editor URL + the steps for me to reproduce the issue so we can check in detail? Also, please keep in mind we have recently released documentation for the new form: Form container | WeWeb Documentation

[matt-thrive]

Just to be sure @DanielL, I replaced the existing Form Container I had with the one you mentioned here since I couldn’t figure out how to validate it was the “correct” container. Despite, I do not see the fields appearing in the variables.

I’ll contact via Chat Support and mention this thread.
