Transfer data from a form to another.

Is it possible to implement the following use case with your API methods?

Let's say I have a two-page form. User answers questions on Page 1 and presses Next (not Submit). The responses to those questions will be sent to an external API and a specific information received from that API will be displayed on the page. The user will need this information to answer questions on Page 2.

This can be done using the two forms by redirecting form respondents to your second form after submitting the first form as shown below:

In the screenshot above, put a special link to pass data from form 1 to form 2. That special link will populate empty X field(s) in Form 2 with Y filled field(s) in Form 1 as shown below.

Does this answer your question?

I see. So Form 1 will have only Page 1 fields and Form 2 will have both Page 1 and Page 2 fields. User will start with Form1, and will be forwarded to Form 2 upon pressing Next button which is Submit for this form. At the same time all inputs on Form 1 will be pre-populated into corresponding empty fields on Page 1 of Form 2. And since the data is already summitted into the database from Form 1, I can call your GET /form/{id}/submissions method to pass data into the external API and populate results into Form 2 during its loading.

Am I missing anything?

Hi,

If you just want to transfer data from Form 1 to Form 2 after the user fills Form 1, you have the option to not use the API to prepopulate Form 2.
