Adaptive Form Created but not Editable - Whats going on?

Hey All,


So im working in a sandbox provided by my manager - with the task being to create an adaptive form POC for a client.
Let me know if anyone has an idea of whats going on, or how to best go about creating a form like this one (if possible).


Im learning forms currently, so I simply did the bare minimum of the following steps to see the "issue" im facing now:
- Opened forms sandbox "Navigation" pane

- Selected "Forms"

- Selected "Forms & Documents"

- Clicked "Create" -> "Adaptive Form"

- In "Create Form" pane (see below pic) -> Clicked "Blank with core components"
- It doesn't let me "create" yet, so went to "style" tab and clicked "Canvas" option (see below)
-  Now I can click create, so did that and saved in default path "/content/dam/formsanddocuments"

- It opens a new window with the created form, but i see nothing at all. And clicking edit or preview does nothing either. (see below).

Hey @sudhansh thanks for the detailed response. However, Im not sure what you mean by FAR, but regardless as you can see in my screenshot - when i select "create" from the "forms" path i follow from my sandbox landing page; it doesn't take me to a template creation path, rather shows me the options for which type of form to create. Not the same as what your Experience manager page is showing in the vid. 

Also not sure where to go, but i provided the screenshots of the developer console and then the repository page. Please specify where to go from here. I tried searching for "archetype.properties" on both places but nothing shows up. 

Do guide, and sorry for the late response. 


For using Adaptive Forms core-components - we had to enable the same through the product pipeline code - enabling Forms in the archetype. With recent releases we have removed this as a mandatory requirement, and one can directly use core-components without including them in the archetype.

For archetype.properties you can refer to: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-manager/content/managing-code/managing-repositories

 

Though my recommendation would be to upgrade your environments to the latest release, as it would simplify the steps.

In case you are still facing the issue (after the latest release upgrade - please raise a support ticket to help investigate).

@saadab To confirm are you using a local setup or a cloud instance? Could you share any errors in the browser console which you are observing.

Also, could you validate - if the proxy components defined in the template/form are available on your environment.

Hey @sudhansh , so this is a cloud instance sandbox provided to me for use by my manager. What kind of errors and what specifically in the browser console should I be looking out for if you can guide? 
And as for "proxy components defined...", what are those and how would i check their available in my environment? Apologies for the basic questions, I just want to make sure i get the right info.

Hey @sudhansh sorry for the late response, and appreciate the help.
Just want to be sure - how do I upgrade the environment for this? Is it via the developer console? Any documentation on this? Thanks

 


@saad-a You can upgrade your environment from the Cloud Manager UI. Here is the documentation for it: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/using-cloud-manager/manage-environments#updating-dev-environment
