Cause

The root cause of this issue is an offline chat form configuration that lacks the required input questions. Without these questions, the form cannot function correctly, resulting in a continuous loading display.
This only occurs when using the code snippet from the "Generate Code Chat v2" option and not the "Generate Code" option in Configuration Manager, Scripts, Chat, Code.
8x8 is investigating this as a possible bug.
