Deployment of Umbraco Forms between environments on Umbraco Cloud

[marcemarc]

When we create a form in a staging or development environment and

'courier' it up using Umbraco Deploy to production or from dev to staging

Then the form is there, if it was picked on some content that was also sent up, you can access the form via the content, or via it's direct Url if you know the Guid

But the form does not appear, in the Forms section in the Forms tree.

Now this might not be an Umbraco Deploy issue, it might be an Umbraco Forms issue, or more likely an Umbraco V16 caching issue.

I've looked into the UFForms and UFFolders database table and the data and parent form ids have all been 'couriered' correctly by Umbraco Deploy. Well done Umbraco Deploy!

If we restart the site that the form has been sent to then they appear in the tree.

I've tried lots of other things, eg creating a form, moving a form and deleting a form, to try and break any kind of tree cache... but that didn't make them appear, only the restart was successful.

obviously not ideal to have to restart production in order to deploy a form!
