Summary
When trying to open a specific form view in Form Builder, users may encounter the following error message: "Selected form has been deleted"
This prevents the form from loading and may redirect the user to an error page.
Observed Behavior
The error occurs for one particular form view, while other views (such as Default view) open normally.
The issue is reproducible across any table where the affected view is configured.
Appears consistently regardless of browser or session.
Expected Behavior
Form Builder should open the selected form view normally without displaying any error.
Steps to Reproduce
Navigate to any table or record that uses the affected form view.
Right Click and navigate to Configure → Form Builder.
Select the problematic view in the view dropdown.
Observe that the following message appears: “Selected form has been deleted”
The form fails to load or redirects to a 400 error page.
Root Cause
- This issue typically occurs when there is an invalid or conflicting record in the sys_ui_view table.
- Specifically, one of the view records may have its Name set to the sys_id of another existing view.
- Because the Name field is incorrectly populated with a sys_id value, Form Builder cannot correctly resolve the reference and displays the error message.
Resolution
Navigate to the View (sys_ui_view) table.
Look for any record where the Name value matches the sys_id of another view.
Verify that this is not a valid configuration.
Delete the incorrect or duplicate view record.
Refresh and reopen Form Builder — the form should now load successfully.
Verification
Reopen Form Builder for the same table and select the affected view.
Confirm that the form loads without errors.
Check that other form views remain unaffected.
Additional Notes
This issue may occur after cloning, importing, or manually creating views where sys_id data is mistakenly used as the view name.
Deleting the incorrect record does not impact valid views or forms.
The fix is immediate once the duplicate or invalid view record is removed.
Conclusion
If you encounter the “Selected form has been deleted” error when opening any form view in Form Builder, review the sys_ui_view table for incorrect records where a view name matches a sys_id.
Deleting the conflicting record restores normal functionality.
