Fatal error while editing forms restored from V4

Resolve a fatal error when editing forms restored from ChronoForms V4 to V5.

Overview

The error occurs because the V5 version being used lacks fail-safe handling for incompatible V4 form elements.
Update ChronoForms V5 to the latest version, which includes safeguards to prevent such fatal errors during form editing.

Hello!
I am restoring forms from V4 to V5. I know it's experimental so I'm not surprised I have an error, but maybe we can both be happier if it's fixed.

The restore goes fine, then when I click on a form name to edit, I get:

Fatal error: Class '\GCore\Admin\Extensions\Chronoforms\Fields\Header\Header' not found in .../administrator/components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/views/edit.php on line 926

If you want me to do any kind of test on this I'd be happy to help.

Thank you for your great product!

If you want I can attach the backup file with the forms.

Hi Gibilogic,

Is this the latest v5 version ?

Not all v4 forms can work on v5, but the latest version had some fail safe option so that you don't get a fatal error!

I was on 5 RC2, now I have installed RC4 and I can confirm I get no fatal error. Thank you!
