I am going through my apps and find that some columns or actions relate to forms… which I recognise… but I do not know how these forms appear. Is there any trick I can use to help? Ideally I know which action opens these forms so I can back-track. Thanks!

I am starting to leave a text component only for dev (email, etc) with a note… and that means that if I do not see that note on my normal path… then I try to track things down.
Next will be to look for each action, and then disable column and webhook type things to just open the form and have a look. Maybe these methods will help!

A general trick I would use is to always use custom actions for your buttons and everywhere else you can assign an action. Name the actions like you would name your columns, e.g: Form/Add a user. It makes searching much easier, and you can actually see which buttons are using that action in the Actions dashboard.

I do that, very likely most of the time. I end up with forms I did not make, which contain a long set of text entry fields. Likely these came from a component where I had not removed the ‘let users add’ kind of thing.
