Our release on 21 January 2026 includes the following changes.

Business Connect platform

New – Customs Fit and Proper (C12)

This form is to determine if the applicant is "fit and proper" to hold a CCA licence.

New – Charter School End of Year Report

Republished – Accident Compensation Corporation's (ACC) Sensitive Claims Service – Named Service Provider form

Easier, more reliable workgroup switching in admin portal

Switching between work groups in the admin portal is now more reliable, ensuring those in multiple groups can access the right queues with ease. Switching happens within the same secure session, no need to log out and back in again.


FormBuilder.govt

Smarter date of birth settings

We’ve improved the contact person date of birth component, so it behaves more reliably as soon as you add it to a form. You’ll no longer need to adjust the settings to prevent future dates from being selected, FormBuilder now takes care of that automatically. These updates save time and help you ensure you receive more accurate form submissions.

Better display on modern screens

FormBuilder now optimises its layout for screens 1280 pixels wide and above, ensuring a cleaner, more consistent editing experience. This update improves stability across common devices, making the interface easier to navigate and work with.

Improvements to repeatable sections

Repeatable sections now handle file uploads more dependably, supported by improved attachment controls and clearer guidance when errors occur, reducing surprises for builders and form users alike.

Clearer guidance for placeholder text

We resolved a bug that caused values matching placeholder text to be ignored. FormBuilder now provides a clear message to prevent this, helping ensure your data is recorded correctly.
