One of the biggest issues is that within a Rule Action, you cannot change the value of a field to another field unless the field types match exactly. For example, I cannot change the value of a text field to the value within a number field, or ANY other field unless the field type is also text.
On my organization, this is a HUGE oversight and completely stops the transition to the NEW FORMS as dead in the water until they resolve this.
I did submit a ticket and was told they are working on this issue, but there is no ETA. I find this to be extraordinarily unprofessional, as the New Forms were release into beta and made to be the new default form, but they are not truly ready for prime time.
Within the first two days of the new release, I submitted about 6 tickets, all of which were valid issues. Half of them were closed already and I have been told they are working on the issue.
The new forms have a lot of promise, but also have a lot of issues so far. The UI changes are nice. I do wish they provided the ability to also allow sections to be organized in columns, but you can only organize content within sections into columns. Still better than before.
