I'm trying to use a form inside a bootstrap popover. Some basic html works (text styling, buttons), but the form does not. (neither do onclick() javascript actions)
I tried several options, and could not find any solution online.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Required meta tags -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">
<title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-danger" data-toggle="popover" data-html='true' data-content="
<h3>This works</h3>
<form>
This does not:<br>
<input type='text' name='firstname'><br>
Last name:<br>
<input type='text' name='lastname'>
</form>
">popover with html form</button>

Your HTML is just fine and works (see example below.) The issue is a new flag needs to be set to allow HTML in the popover for BS 4.3.1
Per their release notes for that version is a breaking change:
"Security: Fixed an XSS vulnerability (CVE-2019-8331) in our tooltip and popover plugins by implementing a new HTML sanitizer"
See implementation of sanitize below in your example:
You can use content callback. In any case you need to insert your html into an hidden element, not into the button:
