**Your software** My Mautic version is: 4.4.10 **Your problem** We have the recaptcha plugin and it does work with basic mautic forms but when we tried with a data capture focus item it did not. Looking more closely the captcha elements where not included in the rendered form in the focus item including the scripts and field. I am assuming the form inclusion doesnt support none native fields and ignores plugin related ones maybe. We are using v3 of captcha. Cant find a lot of information - but came across this which is a couple of years old. > > > Hi, > > plugin does not work on Focus items -form. > > I have created a form where… the recaptcha field is also. > > If I want to display the form via Focus Items (Collect Date-Modal), it will display as follows without recaptcha: > > !\[image\](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29813291/157850200-9109b7ad-e290-4844-9135-3caaeafe9734.png) > > If I subsequently submit, it will show an error: > > !\[image\](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29813291/157850246-71a4ec89-41b3-4700-9653-40aa83559315.png) > > If I put the form directly on the page via an iframe, the recaptcha will be displayed. > > !\[image\](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29813291/157850349-59172192-eee7-4a98-9337-bfaa101ddad0.png) > > Where is the problem? > > Regards I am not sure what his fix was exactly. As a work around we found that you could use the automatic or manual version of the form and paste in the html block. Possibly you dont need to use the data capture and the notice version is usable. Is it bug ? If so on mautic side or the plugin implementation. If its not a bug is there some magic to make it work as it should without the js or full version copied into the html block. ---

Seems like a bug. The form is rendered in Focus Items a little differently, so it needs some touch, I think. You can create an issue on GitHub or hire a developer to fix it. ---

One of the side effect issues is that with the recaptcha main js call it breaks the overlay for some reason that I cant think off. The modal background element cant move outside the iframe. Possibly this is the reason its “disabled” and its intentional We have additionally found that even though including the form as js sort of works and even though we get the above issue the recaptcha seems to work sporadically. Same conditions - sometimes it fails and sometimes it succeeds. Possibly would work on a well known main site - we are testing on test site currently. Weirdly we have mautic and recaptcha in another position (as form and not focus item) on the same site and it works 100% of the time. Odd. Ill look into doing a ticket. ---

Very late here, but was this every solved on Mautic 4? I’m facing the same issue with {focus\_form} where the recaptcha is not rendered for the focus item. Thanks for any help offered.
