[6.x] Forms 2

[jasonvarga]

Forms 2 is a complete overhaul of Statamic's forms functionality, including (but certainly not limited to):

• Brand new drag & drop form builder
• Forms now have their own fieldtypes, separate from those used in blueprints
• Form blueprints have been dropped, in favour of saving fields on the form itself
• Form-specific fieldtypes, like Star Rating, Opinion Scale, Ranking and Image Choice
• A dedicated "Logic" area, with both List & Tree views
• Support for partial submissions
• Submissions now store the site they're submitted from
• Ability to generate fake submissions
• Access restrictions (eg. maximum submissions, requirement to be logged in)
• SubmitForm action to submit forms programmatically
• Improved file upload handling
• Emails can now be sent when certain conditions are met
• Webhook notifications, plus a cohesive system for third-party connections
• Finer grained permissions
• Much, much more

Forms Pro

Forms Pro is a paid first-party addon adding extra features on top of Core, like multi-page forms, visualisations, an Address fieldtype with autocomplete, and integrations with popular email marketing tools.

Some of these features live in cms, gated behind whether Forms Pro is installed. It also lifts the single form limit, so you can have more than one form without needing Statamic Pro.

Pricing and other details will be announced when everything is released. Hold tight!

Breaking changes

Because Forms 2.0 is being released in a minor release, we've done our best to avoid breaking changes, migrating what we can to new formats automatically:

• Existing form blueprints are converted into the new format on the fly. They'll be moved into the form's YAML file (and the old blueprint deleted) the next time the form is saved.
• Existing email configs are converted into email connections.
• Non-form fieldtypes will continue to work but we recommend building form fieldtypes going forward.
• $form->blueprint() still works. It's now generated using the form's fields.

The configure form fields permission has been removed in favour of finer grained permissions. However, it's still supported for roles currently using it.
