Hi there @ThomasGrant08!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot :robot: :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey! Thanks a lot for taking the time to create this issue. I was able to reproduce this issue on version 13.0.3. The Classic editing mode for the RTE(Rich Text Editor) does not save the form macro if you add anything else to the RTE. It also happens to Embeds. But if you are using the Inline editing mode there are no issues adding forms or embeds. So this is an actual bug. I will go ahead and mark this issue as a sprint candidate. 😄

For anyone who hasn't seen this announcement "Macros will be removed in Umbraco 14" it may be worth considering replacing your current RTE macros with RTE block items since they will stop working in v14 anyways.
