When trying to add a field on a user form I get the error There has been a error above the add field box.
I used the Chrome dev tools and found that it is giving a javascript error
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'split' of undefined
Try doing a flush on the userforms page
site.com/admin/edit/pageid?flush=1
That error would indicate one of the templates isn't working (doesn't have a name) so if you still have an issue after flushing, let me know what form field you're trying to add.
Also for completeness, try create a new Userform page and recreate the form and see if you get an error there.
It turns out that since the database/form I was using was upgraded from SS2 to SS3, the database hadn't upgraded quite right.
I managed to find and fix the problem by comparing it to a working userform on another database which directed me to the fact that there were no entries in the EditableFormField_Live Table so I fixed it by copying the rows in the EditableFormField Table to the EditableFormField_Live Table.
Must have been quite an old 2.* site, that migration took place probably 2-3 years ago now. https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-userforms/blob/master/code/tasks/UserFormsVersionedTask.php is the task you need to run to republish all the form fields but sounds like you've got it sorted by hand.
