Navigation between pages

Navigate directly to a specific page when using the Previous button in a multi-page form.

Overview

The issue occurs because the standard Previous button navigation follows the linear page order, not conditional logic based on earlier user input.
To solve this, change the Previous button on the target page to a Link type button and set its chronopage parameter to the alias of the desired previous page, bypassing the default page sequence.

I have three pages:

Page1 consists of HTML: PAGE 1 radio button: choice = yes/no submit button

Page2 consists of HTML: PAGE 2 Previous page button Submit button

Page3 consists of HTML: PAGE 3 Previous page button

The normal flow is page1 choice=yes -> page2 -> page3. However, on page1, if the user chooses "no", they go directly to page3.

I would like that when the user is on page3 and click Previous page, he returns to page1 and not to page2. How can I do that? I tried putting an eventSwitcher on the load of page2 that tests the value of choice. In that eventSwitcher, if I have choice="no", I call nextPage(page1) but that does not work.Thanks for reply

If you want the button to go back to page1 then you need to have a button of type Link and set the chronopage parameter to = page1_alias:
