Working with:

  • Sitecore.NET 9.0.2 (rev. 180604)
  • SXA 1.7.1
  • Azure Search
  • Sitecore Forms Extension 9.0-1.8.2 (also installed nodb package on CD)

I have created a customized save action. The form is working fine in CM but while trying to submit the form in CD, it throws 500 Error.

Server Error in '/' Application.
Type 'Feature.FormsExtensions.Fields.Hidden.HiddenViewModel' in Assembly 'Feature.FormsExtensions, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.

As @BartVerdonck suggested, I have raised a bug report ticket for this issue: https://github.com/bartverdonck/Sitecore-Forms-Extensions/issues/58

Since it will take time to be resolved by @BartVerdonck, is there any workaround for this issue?

    You can clone the repository and extend the HiddenViewModel class. Then you add the serialize attribute. Once done, you need to update the namespace to use the one you created

Converting comment to answer

You can clone the repository and extend the HiddenViewModel class. You can then add the serialize decorative attribute to the class. Then build the solution and deploy the new assembly to your bin folder.

You need to also update the namespace to use the new implementation.
