Thx for the explanation on this, I got that far also and made a pretty good contactform by filling in the new css in the "FormBuilder Default Style" Stylesheet. The CSS Class is called "contactform"

Now I´m building another form but I cant attach another stylesheet to it.
I made a new one, "newformstyle", connected it to my template -> and used it in the Formbuilder as CSS Class for the new form.
The new style doesnt load, the form shows without any style using the "Default form template" - Why?

If I change the CSS class to "contactform" it shows with the styling from my first form and that is, as mentioned connected to the "Formbuilder Default Style" stylesheet.

Seems like there is no way I can sort this out, or do one of you pro´s know what to do?... I need 4 forms on my page
