Thank you for your continued support.
After updating a site from ConcreteCMS 9.4 to 9.5, all submissions via legacy forms are resulting in errors, making the migration to Express Forms essential.
I have a question regarding this: unlike legacy forms, is it not possible to configure specific options for the checklist in Express Forms?
Is there a way to create a large number of checkbox options without using a paid add-on?
I would appreciate your guidance on this matter.
Regarding the legacy form error:
There is already an GitHub issue: Legacy Form block throws an error on submit · Issue #13129 · concretecms/concretecms · GitHub
Thank you.
I had previously resolved the issue, but when I posted about a bug in the “Legacy Form,” the theme author and others told me something along the lines of, “The Legacy Form is outdated; switch to the ‘Express Form’ and we can help you further.”
While I would like the error fixed, I am willing to switch to the Express Form since the Legacy Form is obsolete; however, I am running into a problem where I can only configure a single checkbox option.
I would appreciate your guidance on how to handle this.
A checkbox is a single option. What you want is radio button-options. So you should choose the “options” form input type and there you can pre-define options and make them all visible at once, and you will get radio buttons. If you dont allow them to be all visible, it will be a select-form with the options visible on-click.
Thank you.
I plan to give that a try, but I’ve run into another issue.
When I attempt to create the form again, I get the following error:
Error
The name “Test Form” is already in use. Please enter a different name.
Even when I click “Select existing Express Entity form,” the name of the form I created does not appear.
I would like to delete the form I created and make it again; could you please tell me the correct procedure for doing this?
The configuration process is more complex than it was with legacy forms, so I would appreciate your guidance.
Once a ExpressEntity is created, it is accessible through the Systems & Settings Menu.
There you should be able to change the handle, delete it and all.
Even after deleting the entity entries via Dashboard > System & Settings > Express > Data Objects > Clear Entity Entries, the form remains, preventing the creation of a new form with the same name.
When attempting to delete the folder from the Custom Entry Location—specifically, when trying to delete the “Express Entry Results”—the following message appears:
“This results folder is currently active. It cannot be deleted.”
I was able to delete the relevant form by removing it from the database table ExpressEntities.
I couldn’t delete it from the admin screen.
At the dashboard page
System & Settings > Express > Data Objects > <Name of your entity>
by using Clear Entries you deleting all the submissions of the forms.
If you want to delete a form, you have to go to the Forms section: there you can add/delete the forms.

Thank you for your ongoing guidance.
So, by following the method you shared, I can delete the form itself?
I had been trying to figure out how to reset it to a clean state with no form configured.
I’ll give it a try.
