One of the new, exciting features of Sitecore 9 is the new forms module – a long-overdue replacement for Web Forms for Marketers!
So, on a rainy, Saturday evening, I sat down to finally play with this magical, new module! I clicked on this cute little button on the launchpad:
Then, I clicked on the Create button in powerful ways to start a new, magical form.
I created a simple form and clicked Save.
It saved successfully! YAY!
I then navigated to Experience Editor to put my new form on a page, but realized I’d forgotten a necessary field…on my simple, test form. It was quite a crucial field.
So from the Launchpad, I clicked on that cute little Forms button again to edit my Simple Powerful Form, but I only found this:
OH NOES! WHERE IS MY SIMPLE POWERFUL FORM???
A quick check of the console of the browser showed that there was an error loading the page.
Cannot initialize module: Database Name.
I also saw these errors in the logs:
20:50:22 WARN Cannot resolve the scope because the item set is empty.
So naturally, I went to the source of all Forms knowledge in Sitecore – Kamruz Jaman – on Slack. He suggested rebuilding the master index, so I gave that a try. After about 49323ms later, I clicked on that cute little Forms button on the launchpad again and:
Turns out, this is a known issue in the Initial Release of Sitecore 9, but that shouldn’t hold you back from submitting a support ticket. The more people holler about this bug, the quicker it will get fixed. And yes, it’s a bug. You shouldn’t need to manually go rebuild the master index just to see your form.
UPDATE: Thanks to Gert, I have been informed that this question had been asked and answered 3 days prior to my post on StackExchange, so I’ll post that link here as well!
Happy Sitecore trails, my friend!
It works. Thanks!
