I'll have the same issue,
after checking code to be compliant, I got the following statement:

I can confirm the issue, the problem seems to be postgres. Following error comes from the system protocol.

Doctrine\DBAL\Exception\DriverException: An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO "oc_forms_events" ("title", "description", "is_anonymous", "unique", "access", "owner", "created", "hash") VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)' with params ["Test", "Test", 1, false, "group_admin", "Username", "2020-01-20 19:09:06", "#########"]: SQLSTATE[22P02]: Invalid text representation: 7 ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""

[wiswedel]

db-cell oc_forms.unique has type INT(11). The app however tries to insert random strings like sAt3ZJ7Fhenk8M72.
Changing the field type to varchar(64) solved the issue for me so far (even though the app doesn't write anything in in the end)

[nooblag]

While I'm waiting for this app to be patched, how do I change the oc_forms.unique field type to varchar(64)?

[nightbluepn]

@nooblag For mysql:
mysql -u root -p to login to your mysql, then you can do use nextcloud; assuming that is how your nextcloud db is called.
Finally ALTER TABLE `oc_forms_events` MODIFY `unique` varchar(64);

What is about Postgres?
Having problems changing the column, because the column unique is considered as a command.

[oldenj]

I don't know how postgres works, just check their documentation i guess.
I found this: https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-change-column-type/
The syntax seems to be a little different.

@oldenj

ALTER TABLE oc_forms_events
ALTER COLUMN "unique" type varchar;

[arneschlag]

@oldenj

ALTER TABLE oc_forms_events
ALTER COLUMN "unique" type varchar;

Changed the field type, still do not work. Maybe there is another issue, not only this field.

Thanks a lot!!! ;) that solved my problem!

[jotoeri]

Should be fixed with v1.1.1. :)
