What you are seeing
The page shows "Configure this macro with a Form ID before readers can submit values."
#Why it happens
The Form container has no Form ID. Nothing prevents saving the config without one.
#What to do
Edit the page, open the Form macro's config panel, and set a Form ID such as employee-onboarding.
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Standalone field autosave delay | 800 ms after the last change; "Saved" ti | Applies only to Input macros outside a Form container. |
Save retry ceiling | 5 attempts, backing off 250 ms, 500 ms, | If the save cannot locate the macros in the page content it retries on that ladder and then gives up, surfacing as "Could not save form - try again". |
#A few things that catch people out
Form ID is documented as required but nothing stops you saving the config without it - the macro just renders an error box on the page.
A form is a single stored record on the page, not a submission log. A second person overwrites the first, and "Responded by" shows only the newest saver.
Option colours, per-option descriptions, Allow multiple selections, number Minimum/Maximum, Allow decimals and the character-length settings live only in the bespoke config panel, so they will not appear in any generic macro-parameter rendering.
