Form Node Bug

Describe the problem/error/question

If you use a Form as a trigger in workflow, then execute a sub workflow, putting “next form” in the sub doesn’t work as expected, and is not obvious why. Just adding the detection and an error here would help developer a bunch.

What is the error message (if any)?

none, just doesnt work

Information on your n8n setup

Hi @Wyeth
Thanks for raising this. “Next Form” requires a Form Trigger in the same workflow to work, it won’t function inside a sub-workflow without one. There is an error and notice for this; I’ll share a screenshot to make that clearer. Was there anything else you expected or wanted it to do?

I guess i am saying you should make that error clearer, and probably the documentation as well. Your reply above says: “Next Form” requires a Form Trigger in the same workflow to work

But the error and the docs do NOT say that. I think users would expect that the Form trigger in the parent workflow counts as “An n8n Form Trigger node must be set up before this node” as it IS before that node.

So, maybe just clean up the error message and docs, if you dont want to actually support sub workflows for this feature.

Thanks :slight_smile:
