Multi page form, only last page data in e-mail

jj135 21 Dec, 2012
Hi! I created a pretty large, 7 page form. It all seems te wok fine when I test it. But now someone filled in the form and in the e-mail that was send only the data from te last page was in the e-mail. The other fields were all like {fieldname}.

It seems like the filled in fields were not saved between steps for this user.

Could this be happening because the user has maybe coookies turned off in his/her browser? Or could this be caused by something else?

What would you suggest I do? I read some posts about 'session to data' and 'data to session' but I'm not quit sure if that would help and how this would need to be implemend...

Hi jj135,

It's more likely because you haven't passed the data forward to the last page.

You can use the multi-page action to do this (or the Data to Session and Session to Data actions which are more or less the same). Please see this FAQ

Personally with long forms I prefer to make each page a separate form; save after each page and then re-load the data at the end to send an email if that is needed. To do that you need to add DB Save actions and carry the record id forward to make sure that the same record is updated on the remaining pages.
