@Jerry Xu-MSFT , thank you for you answer. I appreciate it. Can you tell me what would cause a site collection to allow new custom forms in some subsites but not other subsites or even at the top-level? For example, I have a site collection called Site Collection A and two subsites call Subsite 1 and Subsite 2. Subsite 1 can create new custom forms, but Subsite 2 and Site Collection A cannot.

Hi, anonymous user-7489 ,

Thanks for your update. What kind of error stops you from creating custom forms in, like you called, Top-level site collection A and the subsite 2? Does this issue occur on all the lists in the sites even with newly created lists and any content type? Are the lists with issue using certain lookup columns?

And I will suggest you to open a new thread for this issue with all the information you know, you can answer the questions there. A new thread will attract more community experts for it. It is not quite easy to find the actual problem in a comment.
