And it failed spectacularly.

We only needed a simple form, but we wanted to be fancy, so we used "nextcloud forms".

The docker image automatically updated the install to nextcloud 30, but the forms app requires nextcloud 29 or lower. No warning whatsoever. It's an official app, couldn't they wait that it was ready for NC 30 before launching it? The newsletter boasts "NC hub 9 is the best thing after sliced bread" yet i don't see any difference both in visual or performance compared to NC hub 2

Conclusion: we made our business to rely on nextcloud forms as a signup form, but the only reason we were using it was disabled who knows how many weeks ago.

I don't know if maybe it's my bad english in explaining it or it's your comprehension skills that lack something.

I write it again for the 10th time: I'm 100% ok having 1-2 weeks of downtime, and this is why i do it live. It simply doesn't make sense to dedicate several hours every month on testing if all i need is getting 3 useless surveys filled per year. If it was essential for work and i needed 99.99999% uptime i would directly subscribe typeform or surveymonkey. If tomorrow my install completely bricks and disappears in thin air, i would have lost 30 minutes of time and no valuable data. I literally spent more time designing the logo for the instance than managing it. This is just to state how unimportant the data stored on it.

This post wasn't made about "oh no i lost millions and all my irreplaceable data thanks to nextcloud stupid updates" but how stupid is to release something that breaks features that they're using as selling point.

ok, now that we established that my IT skills are lacking and i should be fired because one single survey couldn't be filled, this is the release notes: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/release_notes/upgrade_to_30.html

Please tell me where they say that this feature is automatically disabled and also tell me why you think that this is acceptable.

I don't understand why you think that is acceptable.

I even can't find other examples where a release is so rushed, that selling points are disabled without ETA. I never saw for Libreoffice 24 dropping support for opendocument files for a couple months just because they had to meet a self imposed deadline
