Form Basics

Camunda Forms are JSON files with .form extension (not .json). Link to BPMN user tasks via the form's id field, which must match the formId attribute on <zeebe:formDefinition formId="..."/> inside the user task. The user task itself must also include <zeebe:userTask/> (the Camunda user task implementation). Don't link via the older formKey attribute — that's the deprecated job-worker user task, removed in Camunda 8.10. See camunda-bpmn § Form Definition for the BPMN side; if you edited the BPMN, run its lint loop until clean.
