Hello Claire, & thanks for the report.
Can we rely on you to test the update? Please OK it if appropriate.

CC'ing Guillaume as the registered maintainer for the form; even though DavidG has already dealt with it!
Assigning to QA as the update is already in Core/Updates_testing. Suggest leave it to Claire.
It will need an advisory.
