Suggestions for creating custom adaptive form template

[AishwaryaKa]

Hi Team,

One of our customer are planning to create a custom template for adaptive forms, could anyone provide any suggestions on how and what paths can be used for implementing this?

All site pages related custom templates will be available under /conf/<tenant>/<site>. 

The default templates that are shown under adaptive forms are available under /conf/ReferenceEditableTemplates/settings/wcm/templates.

Also, does any paths specifically are needed to achieve this requirement.

Thanks & regards,

Hi @AishwaryaKa ,

To create custom Adaptive Form templates in AEM, never use or modify the reference templates under /conf/ReferenceEditableTemplates; instead, define your own under /conf/<tenant>/<site>/settings/wcm/templates with related policies in /conf/<tenant>/<site>/settings/wcm/policies. Use existing template-types from /libs/settings/wcm/template-types (overlay in /apps if customization is needed). This setup ensures your templates appear in the Adaptive Form creation wizard. The approach is the same in AEM 6.5 and AEMaaCS, though in AEMaaCS you must deploy via Cloud Manager rather than CRXDE or Package Manager.
