uTPro Simple Form Builder for Umbraco

A lightweight form builder — create and manage dynamic forms directly from the Umbraco backoffice with no code required for everyday use. Render any form on the front-end with a single line, and extend it with custom field types without touching the package.

Works with Umbraco 16, 17 and 18 (multi-targeted net9.0 / net10.0).

Database-agnostic: runs on SQL Server, SQLite and PostgreSQL (v2.0.0+).

uTPro Form builder


Features

  • Dedicated uTPro Form section with a left Forms tree (like Dictionary)
  • Visual builder: groups → 12-column layout → fields, with live settings
  • Copy / paste groups, columns and fields across forms (browser localStorage)
  • Import / Export form definitions as JSON (layout only — no entries)
  • 19 built-in field types + a 2-step custom field type extension point
  • Client-side validation with multi-language (Umbraco Dictionary) messages
  • Sensitive fields encrypted at rest (ASP.NET Data Protection), masked in the UI
  • Entry storage with search, date-range filters, paging and CSV export
  • Form Picker property editor (+ ready-made data type) to choose a form from content, with server-side publish validation
  • Public REST APIs for submit / render / entries (opt-in per form)
  • Role-aware UI driven by Umbraco user groups

Quick Start

Install:

dotnet add package uTPro.Feature.SimpleFormBuilder

On first run it creates its tables and seeds a sample Contact Us form. Grant the uTPro Form section to your user group, build a form, then render it anywhere:

@await Component.InvokeAsync("uTProSimpleForm", new { alias = "contact-us" })
Umbraco .NET Target
16 .NET 9 net9.0
17 & 18 .NET 10 net10.0

Database support

Runs on SQL Server, SQLite and PostgreSQL. All data access uses NPoco strongly-typed queries and provider-agnostic migrations (large JSON columns use SpecialDbTypes.NVARCHARMAX, which maps to nvarchar(max) on SQL Server and text on SQLite / PostgreSQL), so table/column identifiers and types are handled correctly on every database.

For PostgreSQL, install the community provider Our.Umbraco.PostgreSql, enable it in Program.cs with .AddUmbracoPostgreSqlSupport(), and set provider name Npgsql2 in the connection string. The form builder then runs with full functionality — verified end-to-end (unattended install, migration, seed, form submit, and encrypted sensitive fields):

v2.0.2: Republish to fix a stale packaged assembly. The 2.0.1 package shipped a compiled-view DLL that still emitted the old "sf" CSS class names in the rendered form markup (while the CSS/JS static assets already used "uTProForm"), causing a class-name mismatch. This release is built clean so the compiled Razor views correctly emit the "uTProForm" prefix. No source/API changes versus 2.0.1. v2.0.1: Fix encode attribute, and renamed front-end CSS class prefix from "sf" to "uTProForm" (e.g. .sf -> .uTProForm, .sf-error -> .uTProForm-error) and JavaScript hooks window.__sfBeforeSubmit/__sfAfterSubmit to window.__uTProFormBeforeSubmit/__uTProFormAfterSubmit for clearer, collision-free naming. BREAKING: sites that target the old .sf* CSS selectors or use the old window.__sf* hooks must update accordingly. v2.0.0: Cross-database support (SQL Server, SQLite and PostgreSQL). Migration now creates JSON columns via SpecialDbTypes.NVARCHARMAX instead of the SQL Server-only NTEXT, and all data access uses NPoco strongly-typed queries so identifiers are quoted per provider. No schema change for existing databases. v1.0.0: Initial release. Form builder for Umbraco 16, 17 and 18 (multi-target net9.0/net10.0) with groups/columns layout, 19 built-in field types + custom field extension point, client-side validation, sensitive-data encryption, import/export, copy/paste, Form Picker property editor, and public submit/render/entries APIs.
