Original Multipage Form Recreated Using Subforms

I have a "huge" form which is taking over 2 minutes to load and freezes the browser while loading. max_input_vars, safe saving, etc have all been tweeked to no avail.

So now I am trying to convert the form to a form built using subforms. The original form is a multipage form where you select your garment types, sizes, design colors, etc. I want to put each of these sections into their own subforms.

I tried copying the original form and then deleting all the sections I did not want on that particular subform. Ex., I copied the original Garment form to make GarmentMaster, GarmentTypes, GarmentSizes, etc. Each form is contained in a Page container.

Will this type of setup work with a multipage form? Do I need to get rid of the Page containers in the subforms? When getting rid of the Page containers (if I need to), do I have to recreate that entire section from scratch? It doesn't appear that I can drag the items from the Page container into a Panel.

I searched for a tutorial and the examples did not have anything like this in them.

Thanks for your help.

Hi nfncmg,

The Page containers shouldn't be any problem - but you can change the type to Div or None (Holder) if you prefer.

You can't drag existing elements out of a container but you can use the Copy, Paste and Delete buttons to do the same thing.

Does the form take a long time to load in the front-end, or just in the Form Editor?

Thanks for the reply Bob! The form takes ages to load in the backend Form Editor. I love using the Wizard and all that ChronoForms has built in so I'm trying not to grab the Code and begin modifying stuff manually.
