Issue

  • We have upgraded from Liferay Portal 6.1 or 6.2 version to DXP
  • In this DXP 7.3 version, the Web Forms widget is missing and nothing is displayed in its location ( web-forms-portlet is unavailable)

Environment

  • Upgrades from Liferay Portal 6.1 or 6.2 to DXP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4

Resolution

Unfortunately, the "Web Forms" application was deprecated as of DXP 7.0 and replaced by the new "Forms" functionality.


You can find more information in the following links:

 
As I have indicated above, this application has been replaced by "Forms", you have information about this functionality on the following page:

 
With "Forms" it is possible to implement forms similar to those that could be done with the old "Web Forms", but it is necessary to create them manually from scratch since there is no upgrade process that generates the equivalent of "Web Forms" in the new "Forms".
 
The stored data from the old version is not accessible through the user interface since the database tables used are different and there is no upgrade process for the data to be visible by the new "Forms" application.
