Back button not working on readonly form

Version 8.4

I have developed a form, once the values are entered, I am generating a readonly form for confirmation. Back button on this page is not working, it is cancelling the form, instead of navigating back to first page for editing the entered values. Any fixes will be helpful

Back button is not working as expected

Hello @himabindu306

For using back button to go into previous page you can try below approach:-

  • Make sure your form is explicitly multi-page handled by form navigation buttons
  • Replace cancel button with previous in confirmation page
  • Ensure field names are consistent between pages

Try to use below sample code for previous button

<Form name="UserInputConfirmationForm">
  
  <!-- Page 1: Input Form -->
  <Page name="InputPage" title="Enter User Information">
    <Field name="username" displayName="Username" type="string" required="true"/>
    <Field name="email" displayName="Email Address" type="string" required="true"/>

    <!-- Navigation Button -->
    <Button type="next" label="Next"/>
  </Page>

  <!-- Page 2: Confirmation Page -->
  <Page name="ConfirmationPage" title="Confirm Your Information" readOnly="true">
    <Field name="username" displayName="Username" type="string" readOnly="true"/>
    <Field name="email" displayName="Email Address" type="string" readOnly="true"/>

    <!-- Back and Submit buttons -->
    <Button type="previous" label="Back"/>
    <Button type="submit" label="Submit"/>
  </Page>

</Form>

Hi
Use type="previous" for the back button to return to the previous page. Avoid using type="cancel" here, as that will discard the form.

Hi @himabindu306 ,

Update the form button and workflow Transition logic.
form.xml (1.9 KB)
Workflow.xml (5.2 KB)

  <Button action="back" label="Back"/>
  <Button action="next" label="SUBMIT"/>
  <Button action="cancel" label="Cancel"/>

When the back button is clicked, the work item status is set to ‘Rejected’. Add a transition to ‘Present Identity Form’ if the work item is rejected(click back button).

  <Step icon="Approval" name="Confirm Entered Values" posX="676" posY="126">
    <Approval mode="serial" name="Confirm Entered Values" owner="ref:launcher" return="exitWorkflow,back" send="identityModel,identityName,launcher">
      <Arg name="workItemDescription" value="script:return &quot;Confirm values for&quot;+$(identityModel.firstname);"/>
      <Arg name="workItemFormBasePath" value="ref:basePath"/>
      <Arg name="workItemForm" value="ref:readOnlyForm"/>
    </Approval>
    <Transition to="Update IdentityModel" when="approved"/>
    <Transition to="Present Identity Form" when="!approved"/>
  </Step>
