Autofill feature do not save Configurable Lists Widget values once form is closed

    Hello,

    I'm having a bit of trouble keeping data stored in the fields.  I want to be able to auto store the data so if the user accidentally reloads or presses the back button on their browser, when they return to the form the data will still remain.  Under the "Autofill Forms Wizard" menu in preferences, I have selected Autofill>on, 4 seconds, Time to Live>one day, and enabled "Save on data changes".  All the fields DO store their respective inputs EXCEPT Configurable Lists and Button Checkboxes.  The user will be filling the form out throughout the day, so it is important that the data doesn't get lost when navigating away from the form.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Actually all the values on your form are automatically saved as the form is being filled.

    The Widgets are the only fields that do not saved. I think this has to do with their nature, make it not possible to keep their values once the page is closed.

    Since the continue later feature seems really important, you might need to reduce the use of those Widget where it is possible.

     

    Feel free to get back to us if you need additional assistance.

    Is there any way to add custom CSS to the widgets so that they are saved upon input?

    Unfortunately it is not possible to use CSS code to make the Widget entries persistent as the form data is cached in the browser using server side code. CSS can only change the appearance of the Widget.
