while creating custom form it shows error. Error Screen Shot
I have done with clear cache and web browser history clean.
Microsoft has an advisory on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
SP186130 Can't Create Forms. Scope: Any user attempting to create new forms on SharePoint Online lists via SharePoint Designer is affected.
Currently have the same problem on all lists, so most answers to this question aren't applicable.
I think it is a problem on MS side at this point to be honest.

I'm new to SharePoint development and design. Someone recommended using SharePoint Designer as a quicker way to have the site have a specific look that is different from the SharePoint Look Book. We want sections of our page to have borders with rounded edges, and specific color headers. I found several contradicting articles about using SharePoint Designer. Do you recommend using it on the latest version of SharePoint online in 2022? Have you had any success, or have you encountered any issues?
I enable scripting on my site. I tried connecting SharePoint Designer 2013 to my SharePoint online site successfully, but would like to know if it's a good idea to move forward with it.
As you can read from here SP Designer is supported on the latest On-Premises version of SharePoint(2019) on the bare minimum. But as you can see it is a product that is steadily heading to it's end-of-support/deprecation lifecycle.
Also, as you can understand, since it's development was halted since the 2013 version, a lot have changed since then, and many of the new features are not even supported by SP Designer.
If your are trying to make modifications to a SharePoint Online site, I would suggest using more modern tools(PowerApps, Power Automate, Modern UI, SPFx etc) and leaving SP Designer to it's way to deprecation.
You can also, update your question in terms of what you are trying to achieve and we could propose you some ideas :)
I cannot create a custom form on any list on any site collection. I get the infamous "Could not save the list to the server". I am using SharePoint Online on Office 365.
I also noticed that with existing lists, I am unable to add/remove columns from the datasource and it appears to be greyed out.
Any advice? I'd greatly appreciate it.
I did my research on the web and followed instructions. I cleared my we bsite cache. I logged into another computer. I used another account. I checked another site collection. I deleted my columns that I added from the morning. Heck, I even deleted the list I was working with. I have tried everything that I could think of or find.
I have none.
My custom form that I tried to save does not save.

I need to get all the lists used in my site and render theire items. Since i'm not allowed to use code i have to rely on something like xlst. However after several days of searching i haven't come up with a solution yet. Any idea on how to do this?
Alex depending on what you are trying to do using the client object model may work. This allows you to access SharePoint objects without writing code on the server itself. This does require writing some code but usually a farm admin won't mind it since it doesn't affect SharePoint in any way.
The javascript object model may provide you with what you want.
Here is a link that gets all lists in a SharePoint site

Then to get items from a list

You can using *.asmx Sharepoint services SharePoint 2010 Web Services. Example from Visual Studio: Connecting to SharePoint Online Web Services
and
from Sharepoint Designer: Connect to another library in SharePoint Designer 2010
Good luck!
i have a wss 3.0 site up and running using forms based authentication. Is there a way to upload multiple files (basically copy and paste a folder containing files)?
also, when i try to access the site using designer 2007, i can't access the site and it asks me to install sharepoint services or frontpage extensions. how can i modify the site using designer?
I know that in designer that the functionality exists to copy/paste a folder.
Thank you!
Regarding your first question, see this on Stack Overflow. Essentially, it's by design and Microsoft don't give you that functionality. You could try turning on Client Integration but I don't know if it will work. If you need an alternative, searching around I found UploadZen which seems to support multiple uploads with FBA.
Are you also using forms auth with SharePoint Designer? The bottom of this blog post from Mike Hatch has information that might help you.
Try out installing the SP2 for the SharePoint 2007 and the office Application. In the Office application they have solved may of the issue that were part of FBA enabled sites. Please refer to this for more information.
For those using SharePoint or MOSS 2007 specifically. How do you handle forms? Like say you want a form that submits contact information. I don't have this in production yet but I'm currently creating a list for the form that I need and then modifying the list add item form as needed. I'm not sure how this will translate to a public anonymous user environment. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Curtis Shirley
Forms can be anything from custom lists (lists with your own fields added), custom ASPX pages (ASP.NET development), to InfoPath Forms Services (MOSS Enterprise only).
With lists you can also create your own new and edit forms if you don't like the out-of-the-box look/feel (SharePoint Designer can help you with this).
If you want to prevent spam with anonymous users, I recommend a CAPTCHA approach. Here are 3 to look at (we have implemented the first one recently):

http://captcha.biz/doc/asp.net/2.0/asp.net-captcha-sharepoint.html
The issue is really tricky. For a public facing site that must handle spam and usability, it may be best to code a custom form. It is not a major to host a custom form in SharePoint and there is information on getting code behind to work nicely.
Now that I think about it, the Community Kit for SharePoint has had to solve some of the issues for comments on blog posts.
