The older version had form definitions and data in db. With umbraco forms the submitted form data is still in the db, however the form definition is now written out to a json file.
I am guessing form definition is still also present somewhere in the db.
Being able to deploy forms to different environments. So we have from created on dev instance that form was created locally the json generated is checked in. We then deploy to staging instance and form is automagically re created on staging.
Does Contour use database to store form fields and Forms use .json files?
Hi,
does the old Contour use the database to store the form fields and the new Forms use the .json files? Does Forms also use the database for the fields?
If this is the case why switch from the database to .json files?

Thanks,
do you know what the reason is for the .json files?
