# Deprecation: #95456 - Deprecate legacy form templates {#deprecation-95456}

See [forge#95456](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/95456)

## Description {#description}

Using the legacy form template / partial variants residing in
`EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Templates` and
`EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Partials`
is deprecated. The legacy templates will be removed in v14.

## Impact {#impact}

No deprecation is logged since it would flood the logs.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Installations using custom templates for form elements.

## Migration {#migration}

Set your form rendering option "templateVariant" within the form setup from
"version1" to "version2" to use the future default templates.

```yaml
TYPO3:
  CMS:
    Form:
      prototypes:
        standard:
          formElementsDefinition:
            Form:
              renderingOptions:
                templateVariant: version2
```

Migrate your templates / partials to make them compatible with the ones stored in
`EXT:form/Resources/Private/FrontendVersion2`.
