Troubleshooting

The Form Editor shows a different empty state depending on what is missing. These messages usually indicate that you need to select a form, add a field, or change a filter.

If a form is missing after changing browsers or clearing site data, Studio cannot recover it from the previous browser store. Import its downloaded JSON if you have a portable copy. See Save, import, and export.

No forms in the Workspace

If Workspace has no forms yet, select Create Form and choose Blank Form or a starter template. After the form is created, it becomes the active form and the other editor panels can display its content.

No active form

If the editor panels show no active form, return to Workspace and select an existing form. If there are no existing forms, create one first.

No fields in the form

If Fields says that there are no fields, open Add, choose Field or Preset, and add an item to the canvas. A blank form has no field structure until you add one.

No field selected

The Field Edit and Styling panels require a selection. Select a field in the canvas or in the Fields panel, then open the panel again. If the form has no fields, add one first.

No fields found

If filtering Fields returns No fields found, the filter does not match any field currently visible in the form. Clear the filter or enter a shorter part of the field name, label, or key.

The same approach applies to filtering fields and presets in Add: clear the filter when the list is empty, then browse the available options.

A form is not behaving as expected

Use the editor modes to isolate the problem:

• Return to Builder to confirm the field structure and settings.
• Open Field Edit in the sidebar and check the selected field’s properties.
• Use Preview to test the form as a user would experience it.
• Use Model to clear or change example values used during testing.

For JSON validation and import errors, see Inspect form JSON and Save, import, and export. Return to Builder to continue editing.
