Just saw that you wrote this:
“There is at this time no good way to prevent HTML Forms from clearing the form after it’s been successfully submitted.”
And Removing:
// clear form
if (!response.error) {
formEl.reset()
}
Had no effect…I really need the form data to stay intact after submission if you think of a way to handle this it would be great. I can have the page refresh after submission but that is not great for the UI.
