Form crashes if created under page (For this page)

We are having problems in production with one of our forms after updating Episerver Forms to 4.29.1.

The form is unlike our other forms created under a page (For this page) and the block (Paragraph block) used on the form is also created under the page, not under the form.

See stacktrace:

It comes from the following method:

    /// <summary>
    /// Find form container block which contains this element.
    /// <remarks>This function works because we have assumption that FormElement is direct child of FormContainer,
    /// FormElementBlock is stored inside LocalFolder of FormContainerBlock</remarks>
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="element">The FormEchwslement.</param>
    public virtual FormContainerBlock FindOwnerForm()
    {
      IContent content1 = this.Content;
      if (content1 == null)
        return (FormContainerBlock) null;
      if (!(content1.ParentLink.GetContent((string) null) is ContentAssetFolder content2))
        return (FormContainerBlock) null;
      ILocalizable localizable = content1 as ILocalizable;
      return content2.ContentOwnerID.GetContent(localizable?.Language?.Name) as FormContainerBlock;
    }

Any update/solution on this, we are experiencing the same thing?

Update: Found the issue as you mentioned to be connetcted to ParagraphElement specifically and our forms that used a paragraphelement created globally under Blocks failed to load. Copying the element to the form (For this form) and use that instead solves the issue. Other elements used in the same way works, it's only the Paragraphelement that causes the issue. Using Forms 4.30.0 for reference

We are having the same issue. Any solution (other than the work around) to this yet?
