Is there any plugin form forms that works with PHP version 8.3?
I have tried FormBuilder, SimpleForms and they are not working.

Both of these modules work with PHP 8.1, but likely not higher yet. If there's a specific error you might want to file a bug report:

Hi, thank you for reply. FormBuilder is not working for me in 8.1. When i try to edit or add new fields I get a blank page.
I also can't figure out how to use SmartForms, I can't add fields or edit them, I can't edit template.

When there's a blank page, an error will be generated in your PHP error log. That should give you a clue of what is happening, or you can share the error here if you're not sure.
SmartForms works by scanning a form template you create, it doesn't create the fields for you. The sample templates will give you a good idea on how to get started, but essentially you create an HTML form in DesignManager, save it as a SmartForms template, then scan it in SmartForms. SmartForms is aimed more at developers so isn't ideal for everyone.
