XForms not rendering in a solution upgraded to 11
There looks like XForms isn't loading at all. In edit mode the XForms properties are shown as a textarea with a GUID value in it.

From v11 onwards xforms was turned into an optional package: https://nuget.episerver.com/package/?id=EPiServer.XForms can you try installing it and see if it solves your problem?

Hi David. Thank you for answering. I had added the XForms package. There turned out to be a <remove assembly="EPiServer.XForms" /> in episerver.framework.config that has been in the solution forever (and I don't know why it was there in the first hand). But that of course caused problems for me. Why you would do remove of assemblies like that I find a bit weird.

Hi I’m glad you got this sorted in the end. One common reasons why people used to exclude assemblies as you described was to try and improve start up times as I wrote about here:
Good luck and hope you can transition to using Episerver Forms instead of xforms soon!

Thanks for the link and the follow up. I hope we will be able to upgrade as well :)

Hi,
We are experiencing that our XForms aren't being rendered, but only showing up as "EPiServer.XForms.XForm" when we try to render it in the view with the following line:
Our solution was originally version 7.somethin and was recently upgraded to 11.5.4. During the upgrade we added the new separate packages for XForms.
Does anyone have any pointers?
