What is Formaloo?

Formaloo lets you bring your own form UI, and opens a door in from ChatGPT and Claude

Formaloo runs a monthly release train that has been steadily converting a form builder into a workspace platform: portals with domain-restricted signup, workspace Themes, teams, timezone-consistent records, board voting. July's Magic Logic release moved rule authoring from configuration to description. The latest entry opens two surfaces the product did not have: forms whose UI you build yourself with submissions still kept in Formaloo, and project creation started from inside ChatGPT or Claude, plus private AI analysis and automated scoring and assignment. That entry is a teaser of roughly two hundred characters, so its direction is legible but its scope is not.

What is Pimcore?

Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.

Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.

Formaloo lets you bring your own form UI, and opens a door in from ChatGPT and Claude

◆ Current state

Formaloo runs a monthly release train that has been steadily converting a form builder into a workspace platform: portals with domain-restricted signup, workspace Themes, teams, timezone-consistent records, board voting. July's Magic Logic release moved rule authoring from configuration to description. The latest entry opens two surfaces the product did not have: forms whose UI you build yourself with submissions still kept in Formaloo, and project creation started from inside ChatGPT or Claude, plus private AI analysis and automated scoring and assignment. That entry is a teaser of roughly two hundred characters, so its direction is legible but its scope is not.

◆ Where it's heading

The AI thread has changed shape. Magic Logic and the Update Record action both put more capability inside Formaloo's own editor; this release instead loosens Formaloo's hold on where the work starts and what renders it. If forms no longer require Formaloo's interface, the product's centre moves from the builder to the submission store, the workflow engine and the analysis on top — which is consistent with the platform thread that has been replacing per-form configuration with workspace-level systems for months. The assistant entry point points the same way: the dashboard stops being the only front door.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next cycles to say what the headless path actually is — an API, an embed, or a component library — since the teaser names the capability without naming a mechanism, and to extend the assistant integration past project creation toward the logic and analysis surfaces Magic Logic already automates. On this feed's evidence alone the scope of either is not yet readable.

5.0

Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.

◆ Current state

Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.

◆ Where it's heading

The 2026.3 line has settled into weekly patches where security hardening and data-model fixes share each release. Access-control checks keep spreading to paths that were missed, such as WebDAV and preview endpoints.

◆ Prediction

Expect weekly 2026.3.x patches to continue with more permission checks and fixes, until a 2026.4 minor brings new features.
