Hi!
I try to get a multi-form survey working.
There is a Joomla menu item that serves form_a. As the "on submit" action I use "Load Form" with "form_b", event: "load". The "on submit" action of this form is then "Load Form" with "form_c", event: "load" and so on.
The chain of forms work in 'Test form'-view, but not in the regular Joomla view when called from the menu: Calling form_b from form_a works, but calling form_c from form_b doesn't, the form engine returns to form_a.
I tracked it already down that the itemid=213-param from the URL is "sticky", stays i the URL when the action-URL is generated and prevents the form engine to move further.
How can I achieve this multi form chain, please?

Hi larsomato,
The ItemId is the menu ID - it isn't used by ChronoForms and won't normally affect the form loading.
Have you tried setting Relative URL to No in the HTML (render form) actions - that might fix this.

Hello GreyHead,
thanks for that idea - I tried that already, but it doesn't work. Strangely when I modify the action-URL of the form to the same value but without the itemId the form works fine.
having form_b open, the action-URL is
(the menu-item 213 is the one of form_a). Submitting leads back to form_a, ignoring the events of form_b: there is a Event Switcher in the "On submit", and I just dropped a Debugger-Action in it before the Event Switcher - no reaction.
Now I change the action-URL to
(spoiler: only change is the deletion of the itemid) and after submitting the form_c is displayed.
Can I get rid of that itemId in the action-URL somehow? (changing it with JavaScript seems very dirty to me...)
Regards,
Lars

Hi larsomato,
A couple of choices. The simple one is to pre-set the Action URLs - just copy and paste index.php?option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=choose_de&event=submit into the Action URL box.
The second is more complex but tidier. You can create a series of hidden menu items - ones that don't appear on a visible menu - one for each form submission event. Call them e.g. form_b_submit then put the menu names in the Action URL boxes
