Access Multi Page data over several pages

Access field data from earlier pages in a ChronoForms multi-page form.

Overview

The issue occurs because the form only retains data from the immediately preceding page by default.
Use the session variable syntax to retrieve stored values from any previous page in the multi-page sequence.

Hej all🙂

I'm having trouble accessing field data over several pages.
I'm building a Chronoform multi form with 4 pages. On page 4 I need to access the value of a button from page 1. Actually, that should be no problem with multi pages, however I can only read the data from the directly preceding page.

All events that are called when I hit a submit button have a multi page action (see attached image), before they move on to the next page.
So I guess that everything should be saved properly?
Unfortunately, the How-To-Multipage article doesn't really give me any information on the syntax to be used when accessing stored multipage data. Could anyone give me a hint, please?

(Scenario: Submit button with value "house" on form page 1. I have an event switcher based on this value on page 4. How can I read "house" at this step?)

Thank you in advance,
Ion

Hi Ion,

Please try {session:multipage.field_name}

Thanks a lot, Max!
I've been struggling with this for three days, and now my form is finally working.
