11/26/2023, 7:30 PM@Yasein H. Burqan Umbraco Forms is its own tab/section in the top of the backoffice.
You create forms there.
Then, you can create a form picker field on a document type, and let editors select forms on that.

11/26/2023, 7:32 PMHi @TackleMcClean 🏅 , My idea is make them create it directly from the content, not from the forms section

11/26/2023, 7:34 PM@Yasein H. Burqan I'm not fully sure I understand what the end difference is?
Is the main goal to make sure the editor does not have to go over to the "Forms" section? And stay inside the "Content" section?

11/26/2023, 7:36 PMIt sounds like an uphill battle.
Do you still want the forms created under Content to "end up"/show up in the Forms section as well?

11/27/2023, 4:20 PMHello @TackleMcClean 🏅 , I found a way that after publishing content , take this content to and create a form, but how can I save or create a new form by coding ?
now I catch the data after saving or publishing the content, so I want to take these data and create a new Form.
Any Idea ?

11/27/2023, 4:31 PMI don't understand your use case fully, it seems you are fighting against the Forms system.
The idea is to create new Forms first, and then you set these into fields into your content.
It is an inverse approach to create the forms outside of Forms section. You will basically have to create your own version of the Forms GUI, reinventing a complex wheel.
I would advise against it.
But I'm not saying it's impossible.

11/28/2023, 6:23 AMI want to do that because I did not find any way to make the form going in workflow, so if the editor create or edit the form it will direct save and edit, but I want to make this to create a work flow for it.
