Solution

  • You need to press F4 in the Modeler - it will synchronize the widgets folder with your Model. Then, the widget will be available.

    Synchronize Project Directory

    If necessary, this action creates folders inside the project directory (resources, widgets, theme, etc.). It also reads the widget packages that are currently inside the widgets folders. For example, if you add widgets to the widgets folder, you needs to synchronize the project directory for them to appear in the form toolbox.
