The Form component is working for me locally, but does not render on Pavlovia. A psyexp file (see attachment) containing a single Routine with a single form component, which includes a single free text response is rendered as follows in PsychPy:

But looks like this on Pavlovia

No interaction with the form is possible.

This has be discussed before:
https://discourse.psychopy.org/t/forms-work-locally-on-psychopy-but-disappear-on-pavlovia

But from my understanding of this site:

Forms should work as of now.

Do I use Forms incorrectly? Or are they (still) known to not work online? Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

That probably means that free text responses don’t work in forms online. I would recommend using an editable text box or an embedded Pavlovia Survey instead.

Thanks @wakecarter! I have tried other form types (e.g. choice), but to no success. I didn’t try all form types, so I can’t exclude that there are form types that might work.

I’m familiar with alternatives (text boxes, sliders), but forms would be more comfortable, e.g. because item titles can be defined in the csv, use form.complete, etc.
