**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 5  
My PHP version is: 8.2  
My Database type and version is: 10.11.5-MariaDB-1:10.11.5+maria~ubu2204

**Your problem**  
My problem is: Creating a decision step for “Submits Form”, I select the form and when I click update, I get an error that says “This form should not contain extra fields.” This is the first step in my process. I get this same error if I try to add a decision step of “Visits Page”

These errors are showing in the log: I do not see any errors in the log

Steps I have tried to fix the problem: I’m at a loss. I have just started from scratch with the form and campaign and I get the same problem.

What can I do in the meantime? I have the version I downloaded from [the download page](https://www.mautic.org/download) - which is apparently the broken version. Is there a place I can download a previous version for use until then? And why would a version with a known bug that makes this for the most part useless be the production version from the download page? I have looked for previous versions and I cannot find them, can you or someone point me in the right direction to download previous versions. Thank you.

I found it. I just couldn’t figure it out on Github at first. Thanks for letting me know about the current bug in 5.2. Good day.
