Form
A working form. Place Form Field and Form Submit blocks inside: submissions are validated, saved and emailed. It is shown in the block inserter as Form and registered as canvas-core/form-container.
Select the block on a page and its own settings open in the sidebar, in the panels below:
Settings
Each setting is named exactly as the block editor names it, followed by what it does and what it starts as. Where a setting carries a Shown when line, it stays hidden until that condition is met, which is the usual reason a setting looks missing from the sidebar:
Form
Form KeyDefaultEmpty
Identifies this form on the page when it is submitted. Leave empty to derive one automatically; set it when a page has several forms so entries stay distinguishable.
Field LayoutDefaultStacked (one field per line)
Grid row adds the .row class to the form so the per-field Width setting (½, ⅓, …) takes effect.
ChoicesStacked (one field per line)Grid row (honours field widths)
Form Element Extra ClassesDefaultEmpty
Style classes on the form element itself. The classes field in the Advanced panel styles the block around it instead.
Form Element IDDefaultEmpty
Optional id attribute for the form element itself. Empty = the default generated id.
Form Element Inline CSSDefaultEmpty
Styling written straight onto the form element, such as a maximum width to stop a short form running the whole width of the page.
Submission
Save EntriesDefaultOn
Store each submission in the Canvas form entries table.
Send Email NotificationDefaultOn
Sends you a message whenever the form is submitted. Turn it off for a form whose entries you would rather read in the admin only.
Notification RecipientDefaultEmpty
Comma-separated addresses. Empty uses the site admin address.
Shown when Send Email Notification is on
Notification SubjectDefaultEmpty
The subject line of that message. Leave it empty and Canvas writes one from the site name and the form.

What happens once the form has been sent: a thank you in place of the form, or a move to another page such as a dedicated thank you page.
ChoicesShow a messageRedirect
Success MessageDefaultEmpty
What the visitor is told once the form has been sent. Say what happens next, such as when you will reply.
Shown when On Success is "Show a message"
Redirect URLDefaultEmpty
The page the visitor is taken to once the form has been sent.

Clear Fields After SubmitDefaultOn
Empties the fields once the form has been sent, so a second entry starts fresh rather than repeating the first.

Who Can SubmitDefaultEveryone
Whether anyone can send the form, or only visitors signed in to your site.
ChoicesEveryoneLogged-in users only

Shown in place of the form to a visitor who is not signed in. Tell them where to sign in, or the form is a dead end.
