Changing a form page needs a new editing of the related category

[Enrico Daga]

Hi,
i have noted that when I make changes to a Form page, applying simple
modifications (example the text of a label), pages created before
don't recognize the related form when I try to edit them by 'edit with
form' tab.
This fixes if I re-edit and save the related Category page.

Anybody knows why this happens?

Can you explain this better? Do you mean that the "edit with form" tab disappears, or that it's there but that it gives a "Wrong form" error?

The second one, if I edit & save the Form article, then the pages
previously created, when I click the edit with form tab, tell me:

Error: No form page was found at 'formname'.

After that, I edit & save the related category page and the edit with
form tab works as expected.

Ah, yes. This problem came up recently on the mailing list - there was a bug in older versions of SMW 1.0, where resaving the form caused the "Has default form" property to get messed up, leading the system to think that the form page didn't exist. In theory, this was fixed at some point, so that if you have the latest version of SMW, it shouldn't happen; although some people seem to have gotten this error even with up-to-date versions, so I don't know exactly what the problem is. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem myself, so it's hard to debug it. But yes, you can always temporarily fix it by resaving the category.
