The current implementation of the webform_invitation module uses the getElementsDecodedAndFlattened() method to retrieve webform elements. This method flattens the structure, causing parent-child relationships between elements to be lost. When the modified elements are saved back to the webform using setElements(), the layout and hierarchy of the webform break.
This issue impacts webforms with nested structures, such as fields within fieldsets or other grouping elements, resulting in:
Maintaining the original hierarchy is critical for proper webform functionality and layout.
The hierarchy and parent-child relationships are broken, and all elements appear at the top level.
Replace the use of getElementsDecodedAndFlattened() with getElementsDecoded() in the code where elements are manipulated.
Rationale: getElementsDecoded() preserves the hierarchical structure of elements, ensuring that modifications do not break the layout or relationships.

This fix ensures that the invitation code element is added to the webform without disrupting the existing layout or hierarchy by preserving the element structure using getElementsDecoded().
