It seems my fix may be to set CopyToPublishDirectory to true in my project file.
<ItemGroup>
<Content Update="modules\_protected\EPiServer.Forms\Forms.config">
<CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
<CopyToPublishDirectory>Always</CopyToPublishDirectory>
</Content>
</ItemGroup>
This is still less than ideal since it is masking a bug in the package - I think the correct move is for the package to be updated to set copyToOuput to false in the nuspec
<contentFiles>
<files include="any/any/modules/_protected/EPiServer.Forms/Forms.config" buildAction="None" copyToOutput="false" />
<files include="any/any/modules/_protected/EPiServer.Forms/EPiServer.Forms.zip" buildAction="None" copyToOutput="true" />
</contentFiles>
I have injectFormOwnJQuery="false" set in my Forms.config and noticed the published version built with Azure DevOps replaced this with the orginal file.
Can these settings be altered in appsettings.json instead?
