Form submissions return 404 with Wagtail 7.x due to FormMixin isinstance check

[rosslaird]

As @vsalvino and the team know, I am not a programmer and tend to find my way by trial and error (mostly error). So, like many people lately, I've been using Claude Code to assist with web development. The error description below was created by Claude in response to an error I am seeing. I apologize if it's inappropriate to post an issue generated by an LLM (it does look like a pretty good issue description, though...).

Description

Form submissions are inaccessible in the Wagtail admin (404 error) when using CodeRed CMS 6.0 with Wagtail 7.x. The Forms listing page shows forms correctly, but clicking to view submissions returns a 404.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install CodeRed CMS 6.0.0 with Wagtail 7.1.x
2. Create a FormPage with some form fields
3. Submit the form a few times to create submissions
4. Go to Wagtail admin → Forms
5. Click on the form page to view submissions
6. Result: 404 error at /admin/forms/submissions/<page_id>/

Root Cause

In May 2025, Wagtail added an isinstance check in wagtail/contrib/forms/views.py (commit efd5d49):

def get_submissions_list_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
    page_id = kwargs.get("page_id")
    form_page = get_object_or_404(Page, id=page_id).specific
    if not isinstance(form_page, FormMixin):
        raise Http404  # <-- This causes the 404
    return form_page.serve_submissions_list_view(request, *args, **kwargs)

The problem is that CoderedFormMixin does not inherit from wagtail.contrib.forms.models.FormMixin:

>>> from wagtail.contrib.forms.models import FormMixin
>>> from coderedcms.models import CoderedFormPage, CoderedFormMixin
>>> issubclass(CoderedFormPage, FormMixin)
False
>>> issubclass(CoderedFormMixin, FormMixin)
False

Suggested Fix

CoderedFormMixin should inherit from wagtail.contrib.forms.models.FormMixin to pass the isinstance check. This may require reconciling any method/attribute conflicts between the two mixins.

Alternatively, CodeRed CMS could register its own URL route for form submissions that bypasses Wagtail's check.

Environment

• CodeRed CMS: 6.0.0
• Wagtail: 7.1.1
• Python: 3.14
• Django: 5.1.x

This likely also affects wagtail-flexible-forms since StreamFormMixin similarly does not inherit from Wagtail's FormMixin.
