Webform option to complete same form multiple times

Sometimes, people need to submit the same webform repeatedly with new data each time. Rather than requiring them to refresh the page, it would be useful to provide the end user an option to fill it out again.

    @Digmon_727733 If I understand your need, you'd like to provide users to resubmit the same form multiple times. That sounds like a good general need that I expect other customers will have.

    I'd like to suggest a couple things:
    1. Please share the URL to this specific pushbot to help@catalytic.com. I'd like to have our team look at why eventually the users hit the success page.
    2. If OK with you, I'd like to update your post above to focus more specifically on resubmitting the same form and less on the redirects, so that this can attract upvotes from other customers and get prioritized in our product roadmap.

  • Hi @Jeff_826598 , thanks for the response.
    For your first point:
    My stakeholder is OK with clicking refresh after submitting the form each time, so I don't think it's worth using the support team's time for this, since it's not a real issue or problem. The simple reason is that each time the form is submitted, only the text behind the first ?ref-success= is taken to the next page. Therefore there will always be one less redirect command in the URL with each submission.

    For example, this is how the URLs change with each submission:

    1. https://company.pushbot.com/form/myForm?ref-success=https://company.pushbot.com/form/myForm?ref-success=https://company.pushbot.com/form/myForm
    2. https://company.pushbot.com/form/myForm?ref-success=https://company.pushbot.com/form/myForm
    3. https://company.pushbot.com/form/myForm
    4. success page

    Regarding your second point, that sounds like a great idea, thank you!
