Back Navigation with Data Persistence on Multi‑Step Flow Form

The system shall provide a Back button on Flow Form 2 that allows users to navigate back to the previous form (Form 1).

  • When the user clicks the Back button on Form 2, the application shall return the user to Form 1.
  • All data previously entered on Form 1 and Form 2 shall be retained and pre-populated when navigating back.

    This is possible today. Builders can add additional action buttons to a form to follow different paths within the flow. This can be used as a back button to navigate back to the previous form. All flow variables are retained and can be used to pre-populate the original form.

    Thank you for your input, do you have a scenario example to illustrate?

    Isn't branching/looping a way to go back to a previous form until ready to move forward in menatime?
