    Umbraco Forms - custom FieldType using GUID

    Hi there,

    Is it still possible in Umbraco Forms to override a FieldType on a one-off basis as we used to for Contour, e.g. https://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation/Developer/Custom-Markup/

    I've tried putting my custom fieldtype in /Views/Partials/Forms/{guid-here}/FieldName.cshtml and also /Views/Forms/{guid-here}/FieldName.cshtml but no dice.

    This is the new documentation for the Forms project:

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Products/UmbracoForms/Developer/Custom-Markup/

    As that section is lacking from the documentation I'd say it's included in either the section marked not currently implemented, or never to be implemented.

    Sorry I can't offer any more insight than that.

    Coming back to this.

    This functionality indeed seems to no longer be available.

    What we ended up doing to work around this was to modify the default field types themselves and hook into the field ID.

    This allowed us to explicitly target a field from a particular form, and we would then render an alternative partial for that field instead.

    If Model.Id = 'some-guid'
   Show Partial '/Custom/LoremDropDown.cshtml'
Else
   Use the default template
