Event loader functionality in CF8

Reload a form with original input after validation fails in ChronoForms v8.

Overview

The event loader functionality from CF6, used to reload forms after failed validation, was missing in CF8.
Use the newly added Page Reload action in the latest CF8 update to reload the current page and repopulate form fields from session data.

I have a form that depends on a complex verification based on reading the database after submit. For this I used in CF6 an event swicher and on fail the event loader to load the form again. In CF8 I miss the event loader to reload the form. Am I missing something or is there another route? I tried already some options, but they all fail to work correctly (similar to the behavior of CF6).

I really need this functionality and would like to migrate to CF8.

did you consider redirecting on submit to the first page again ? and include the any parameters in the redirect parameters

I have also added a page reloader in the next v8, it will reload the current page

Yes tried it, but I did not manage to get the first page loaded again and keep the original input. Do I need to include this all as parameters manually?

if so will try the work around. 

like that it will be added in the new release.
