Comment:

 Hi @prudentbot, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 The whole table is already inside a form. Nested forms is invalid HTML, so
 the browser ignores the first nested form and treats the `</form>` tag as
 a closing tag for the main form. The subsequent forms are then displayed
 as expected.

 These posts might be helpful in finding a solution:

 form-nesting-limitation

 Since it's not a WordPress core issue, I'm going to close the ticket. If
 you need any help implementing a workaround, please try the support
