I cannot enter a name or email for a VC recommendation form in the portal

If you created a checklist item for a teacher recommendation, but it looks like this:

There's no spot to click to actually submit it! To fix it, you need to add at least one notification to the form's settings:

1. Navigate: Admissions Candidate Changes homepage > Admission Portal Registration Season Type > Checklist / Recommendation Forms tab > Select the recommendation form.
2. Add the following notification:
   • Event Type: Request Created
   • Email Template: External_Recommendation_Notification
   • Recipient Type: Form Submitter
   • Recipient Person: None
   • Enabled: Check the box
   • Click Update.

Here is the required notification for a recommendation form. 

Now your checklist item has the button to interact with:

Optionally, configure additional notifications.
