Ah yes, if you look at the roadmap linked above, you'll see that the feature is still in development (the date is unfortunately out of date since that was when we hoped to have it done by). That's why it's still turned off by default, and when you turn it on, it's not fully functional.

    Yes, that's fine, I understand that your still in the development stage - same as chrome is. I just really wanted to point to a pdf using xfa forms - created by the uk justice department (so a credabile source) that you might use as part of the development / testing.

     

    This might be a 'shot in the dark' and TBH I don't expect an answer. However if you don't ask you'll never know. When do you think development will be complete? Even just a ball part figure - 6months, 1 year etc?
