SSM Form Asset to Form Module
With 2026.1, the CMS introduced the ability to copy an SSM Form Asset to the Form Module. This action copies the Form Asset to the Form Module to its best ability and some clean up will be required.
Global form settings such as Success and Failure messages, Submit Button text, and redirect settings will be copied. Email messages will not be copied. HTML will be copied as-is.
