From the screenshots available through the system-test-screenshots artifact on the job summary page , it seems that some form field labels are missing.

Note: System tests have been marked with continue-on-error: true since they were introduced, because they were a bit unstable at that time. As a result, even if system tests fail, the job does not fail, but the errors can be seen on the job summary page. That said, system test runs have become almost stable, so I will submit a patch to disable continue-on-error .

I created a separate issue(#43268) for the problem in #note-8 because it was a bit complicated.

Should we already prepare the update to 8.1-beta? https://rubyonrails.org/2025/9/4/rails-8-1-beta-1

I think it is good to start preparing for Rails 8.1. For example, we could update some parts of the code to make it compatible with Rails 8.1.

However, I believe the trunk should always stay in a releasable state, so we should wait for the official Rails 8.1 release before updating the Rails version in the Gemfile.
