Disabled webform text format -- unable to reenable

Looking on Drupal Stackexchange, I see that I should not be able to see the text format -- I'm not sure how I was able to disable it if that was the case...

Most of that work took place at 💬 The hidden webform text format leads to text format selects with only one option Active . I don't think it needs to be enabled. It is disabled by default on install. What actual problem is this causing to the site you are working on?

Well the format choice for the webforms reverted to plain text. I thought that was likely a result of me disabling it, but I don't actually see that having changed in config in GIT, this is what I do see. There were some other WYSIWYG text format settings that got changed along with webform.settings:
- element_format: webform_default
- mail_format: webform_default
+ element_format: plain_text
+ mail_format: plain_text
This was not something I did deliberately. So I am not sure what caused that to switch.

The problem that resulted was that all our emails started having email appear in them - the html all converted to >p<>/p<

I see that it uses webform_default if "default" is selected in the HTML Editor dropdowns here

I encountered the same issue. Somehow, I unintentionally changed the #status of the format to false. Initially, after installation, it was set to true (although it appeared as disabled in the formats list). This caused the system to repeatedly prompt me that the format was empty and couldn't be saved whenever I edited webform fields.

The solution that worked for me was running:

\Drupal\filter\Entity\FilterFormat::load('webform_default')->setStatus(true)->save();

You can execute this command via drush php or any PHP-executable environment.

I suspect this issue occurred when I added a new format and modified the order of formats, which somehow set webform_default's #status to false. However, I've been unable to reproduce this behavior afterward.

I think the webform_default is no longer visible via the UI, and we might be able to close this ticket since we can't reproduce the issue and the suggestion from #6 is a valid fix.

A counterpoint jrockowitz -- just uploaded a screenshot from a different site where webform_default is visible. This is a different site from where this problem occurred.

Are those sites on the same Drupal core versions?

Yep. The are on the same Drupal Core versions 10.4.5
webform 6.2.9

The short answer is people have to upgrade to resolve this issue

Upgrade to what jrockowitz? to have the webform text format hidden?

6.3.0-beta2
