Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have created a membership site for therapists and they will complete quite a long profile form to create their own profile page. The form works well but as I say it is very long and I know that most users will need to spend time (perhaps over a few days) to complete the form.

Is there any way to allow the user to 'save' what they have completed so far, then continue completing the form at a later point?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Yes

Hi Brian

In such a scenario I would have an initial form to publish a profile that included a bare minimum of required fields, and then use an edit form that included all of available fields. That way users could incrementally update the form, returning to the profile to add more fields whenever they wanted to at a later date.

That's an excellent idea, thank you yes that would work.

Thanks as always.

Hello Nigel

Actually can I ask a question about your suggestion?

Can I use the current form, perhaps make a duplicate of it and just include a few of the first options and then link it to the full form ... I am just wondering how i use the current form to create that idea of an initial 'short form' that lets them create the beginning of the profile then make the current form, that I have already created, the 'edit profile' form.

Regards

Brian

From the list of forms you should see a Clone option that you can use to make a copy of your existing form. You can edit the copy and change the type of form.

Did you try that?
