I got this working by also creating a controller, inheriting from the one provided by EPiServer Forms:
public class FormContainerWithConfirmationEmailBlockController : FormContainerBlockController { }
And then moving my view into FormContainerWithConfirmationEmailBlockController/Index.cshtml
Hope that helps someone else.

You can have more information in this post https://medium.com/@lockevn/replace-default-controller-of-episerver-forms-8f8e61d3885c#.bo5nc21w3
Did you reuse the partial rendering to the FormContainerBlock in the zip file or did you copy it locally?
@Html.Partial("~/modules/_protected/EPiServer.Forms/Views/ElementBlocks/FormContainerBlock.ascx", Model)
This path worked as expected
@Html.Partial("/Episerver/EPiServer.Forms/Views/ElementBlocks/FormContainerBlock.ascx", Model)
Thanks Øyvind!
Below is the steps to make it work.
1. Extend FormContainerBlock, and add or subtract properties as you want.
public class ExtendedFormContainerBlock : FormContainerBlock
2. Extend FormContainerBlockController, and call base class to do the job. This call is not required, but I like to be able to set a break point or do custom logging.
[TemplateDescriptor( AvailableWithoutTag = true, Default = true, ModelType = typeof(ExtendedFormContainerBlock), TemplateTypeCategory = TemplateTypeCategories.MvcPartialController)] public class ExtendedFormContainerBlockController : FormContainerBlockController { public override ActionResult Index(FormContainerBlock currentBlock) { return base.Index(currentBlock); } }
3. Create a matching view (ExtendedFormContainerBlock.cshtml) and place it in Views\Shared\ElementBlocks. You can change this path in modules\_protected\EPiServer.Forms\Forms.config if your want to. Add Øyvinds code to the view.
@model ExtendedFormContainerBlock @Html.Partial("/Episerver/EPiServer.Forms/Views/ElementBlocks/FormContainerBlock.ascx", Model)
The partial above will render from the zip-file directly, so if you have added properties that should be shown to end users this will not work. Then the alternative is to unzip the file (modules\_protected\EPiServer.Forms\EPiServer.Forms.zip) and extract the FormContainerBlock.ascx file in modules\_protected\EPiServer.Forms\Views\ElementBlocks. Make your changes to FormContainerBlock.ascx and update the partial path to:
@Html.Partial("~/modules/_protected/EPiServer.Forms/Views/ElementBlocks/FormContainerBlock.ascx", Model)
I'm working with EPiServer Forms and looking to add an additional field to the form block. I've done this by creating a new class that inherits from FormContainerBlock like this:
That works from an editing perspective when I view "All Properties" so I can create a form and add fields to it as expected.
However the form doesn't render, neither on the front-end nor in the back-office "On-page editing view". I've created a view like this and saved it in Shared/Blocks/FormContainerWithConfirmationEmailBlock.cshtml:
When I check in this view I can see that Model.Form is null.
I've set up a parallel form using FormContainerBlock directly, and that works as expected.
Any suggestions as to what I'm missing here are much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
