Form Builder Communication Dropdown Now Filters by 'Form Builder' Category

Note v18.0

The Form Builder now only shows System Communications that are tagged with the new “Form Builder” category.

Otherwise, they won’t appear in the communication dropdown when configuring forms. This change helps ensure form communications stay organized and relevant.

Note v18.0

The Form List block “Link to Form” feature has been updated to only show pages where the Workflow Entry block has the new setting “Enable for Form Sharing” set to Yes. After upgrading, be sure to edit your Workflow Entry blocks and enable this setting on any pages you want to appear in the list. No action = no link visibility.
