How can I get sequential forms to keep input data when using a “previous button.”
in Forms
I currently have three forms that are right next to each other in a flow. On my second form there is the “previous button” option to return back to the previous form. However, when I return back to the previous form none of the data I initially input is present. I am looking for a way to still have my form populated with my input data while using the previous button.

Hello,
You can keep form data by using a create data step in between each form. I will explain how to do this in the following steps and attach an example project.. In my example, I will be using two forms labeled Form 1 and Form 2.
- Replace Previous Button on Form 2 with <regular> Button and label it as “previous”.
- Attach the new outcome generated from Step 1 into Form 1 from Form 2.
- Insert Create Data step between two forms.
- Input Data from Form 2(that was generated in Form 1) into Create Data step and output data as Change Value.
- Input this Change Value data into Form 1.
Howdy, Stranger!
