Populate form based on user ID

    Hello, I need users to login and be redirected to custom page (sorted). The page has a few tabs, each containing a different form. The user should then fill in the forms, and be able to log out and login again and see the form populated with the data saved before. The forms will never be submitted as such, just saved in the database and fetched to populate the form based on the user ID so only their data is visible in the form. Kind of like a basic notes tool. Is is possible to autosave aswell every few seconds and/or when an form input loses focus?

    Hi,

    With the Save Progress add-on, you could add a Save button to your form which would allow the data to persist after login. I would also remove the Submit button as save data is removed upon form submission.

    With Save Progress, there is also the ability to enable Local Browser Storage which saves as the user types. I hope that this helps to clarify.
