On July 12, 2022, Dubsado launched a new form builder! When you go to Templates >> Forms, you’ll see the new form builder is automatically turned on.

You’ll automatically be using the new form builder while editing any form within your Dubsado account, including both form templates and forms in a project.


Switching from the old form builder to the new form builder

If you used the old form builder to create forms without custom code, using the new form builder won’t impact your forms in any way!

If you used the old form builder to create forms with custom code, using the new form builder won’t change how your forms look — however, this is because of legacy mode.

Legacy mode is a setting on each individual form that preserves the appearance of forms with custom code. For you to access all the features of the new form builder, legacy mode must be turned off. Turning off legacy mode may impact how your custom code looks in the new form builder.

Please be aware that our Customer Care team isn't able to assist with any form that uses custom code.


Turning off the new form builder

You can turn off the new form builder and use the old form builder, but you will no longer have access to certain features that come with the new form builder. We highly recommend keeping the new form builder on!

If you decide to use the old form builder, all your forms will revert to legacy mode and any new features are temporarily removed from all of your forms. Turning the new form builder back on will restore the new features.
