Adding ReCaptcha in simple mode

How to add ReCaptcha in ChronoForms simple mode.

Overview

The ReCaptcha element in simple mode lacks configuration options to load and verify the captcha.
Switch to advanced mode temporarily to add the required load and check ReCaptcha actions, then switch back to simple mode while preserving the functionality.

Hi!
I'm trying to add a ReCaptcha to my Form, using simple mode. So I simply dragged the ReCaptcha-Item into my form. I tried to edit it, but I can only change Label, Label Position and Sublabel.
I can't find any options to Load the ReCaptcha.
In the "Setup" tab there's an option to enable Captcha, but this option tells me to use {captcha_img} to show the image, so I guess that's not the option I need?

So is there a way to enable the captcha in Simple mode or do I have to add the "load Recaptcha" and "check recaptcha" events in advanced mode? I really don't want to change to advanced mode because I can't switch back and I'm not the only administrator who edits the forms.

Thanks!

Hi Ghamor,

No, there is not, but in v5 there is a small difference, you can switch to advanced mode, add the recaptcha actions, save, test your form, make sure it works, all good ? now switch back again to simple mode and save, and it should still work, non simple enabled actions can be there, but just hidden.

Oh,
I didn't know that I can do that in V5, I feared that it would blow up the whole form if I switched back to simple mode.

Thanks!
