Navigate Pages Without Filling Required Fields

Wishlist Form Builder
1

Hi Team!

I am using the Elfsight form builder to create a multipage form with required fields on each page. However, I am encountering an issue when editing the form.

Currently, I am unable to navigate to the next page while editing unless I fill in all the required fields. This makes reviewing and modifying the form difficult, as I have to manually disable the “required” setting for each field just to proceed. This process is quite inconvenient and time-consuming.

It would be extremely helpful if the form builder allowed users to navigate through pages without having to fill in all required fields first, similar to the functionality available in other form builders I’ve used. This feature would greatly improve the editing process and user experience.

Hi there and welcome to the Community, @user17478 :wave:

You’d like to have this option only in the widget’s configurator, for the widget owner, right?

Got you, thanks!

Sounds quite complicated, but if this idea gets more votes, we’ll try to think about it in the future :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello again, Max! :smile:

I appreciate your response! Forgive me if I wasn’t clear in my initial request, I don’t believe this should be too complicated to implement.

Just to clarify:

Currently, when building a multi-page form, the preview on the right always stays on the first page unless you manually navigate forward. However, if required fields exist on page 1, you must fill them in before you can move to the next page, making it very difficult to preview or edit later pages efficiently. The only workaround is to disable the required fields temporarily, which is time-consuming and impractical.

What would be ideal is if the preview automatically displayed the page you are actively editing instead of forcing users to navigate manually. This functionality is standard in many other form builders and greatly improves the user experience.

I believe it would be a valuable enhancement for all users working with multi-page forms.

Thanks again for your time!

Yeah, I got your idea, and agree that it would be really helpful when editing the widget in the configurator. Thanks for providing more details!

The thing is that we prioritize requests based on 2 main criteria: complexity and number of votes. At the moment, we have a lot of requests with the higher priority.

However, if more users upvote this idea, it might be prioritized sooner, but it’s hard to give any predictions at the moment.

If we receive any news from the dev team, we’ll update you here right away :slightly_smiling_face:
