• That would depend on the form plugin. They would need to be designed to work in a PWA. You should ask the plugin author. – Jacob Peattie Commented May 20, 2020 at 12:37

By default the service worker does not proxy (cache) POST requests so no, by design, it's not possible. However... More than one PWA do do just this. As one of the comments says, you need to contact the form plugin author for support.
