I have produced a multi-form set of seven pages that allows the user to move backwards and forwards though the work flow using submit buttons. This is to enable them to amend data before submitting the form.
The form works well except I have a problem with Required field.
Moving forwards through the work flow, if a Required field is empty I am prompted and cannot move forward until the field is given content. That is fine.
If a field is not Required I can move forward even if it empty. That is fine.
If a field is not required and is empty I can move backwards. That is fine.
If a Required field had contents, then I can move backwards. That is fine.
If a Required field is empty and I try to move backwards, instead of prompting me I get a browser error message 'Document Expired' from Firefox, 'Confirm Form Resubmission' from Chrome, and 'Hmm, we can’t reach this page.' from IE.
Ideally I would like to override the Required field option when moving backwards, but I would like to understand what is going on.
I believe this might be something to do with GET and POST. The default setting in HTML (Render Form) is 'File'. I have tried selecting POST and GET options. POST behaves as the default, GET does not work at all.
I would appreciate some ideas and if this is fixable.

Hi EX34Mush,
How do you move backwards ? you should use a "link" tag:

<a href="form_link&event=YOUR_EVENT_NAME" class="btn">Back</a>Best regards,

For each page I have two events. One to display the page, and one that contains Event Switcher with some suitable PHP code to select the event that either moves me forward, or back a page.
If I were to insert your suggested code, where in the ChronoForms structure would I put it?

Any more thoughts on this one Max or Bob? I am stuck and need to get this working asap.
Hi EX34Mush,
Apologizes, did not notice this for a while.
The code is for a back link in a multi page form, it should be inside a "custom" element in the designer where you want th button to appear.
