Saving Form issues + upload block bugs

As discussed by many ppl in the discord trying to hack together a way to save partial submissions, I want to share a suggestion here. First, Does anyone else have positive experience to share with the new “save partial submissions”? So far it hasn’t worked for me and I’ve tested it a couple times but the cost of a failed form submission for my business is pretty severe (not just the cost of a lead but of a high value client) so I try not to test it much, so far it only saves blank fields and clutters up the rows with things I need to delete. Plus it only works if their cache is reliable which will never be as reliable as just gathering a quick submission. If we could add a button which Saves, it would just be a submit button which also makes them create a login. Would a login to opnForm work so they could log back in later and change the form from where they left off, having it pre-populate based on the saved record? I guess we’d need to add an invisible record row with their user ID/auth credential so when they come back they get the record saved, maybe this should be on an opnForm homescreen for users who are not yet “form builders/hosters”? this could be a viral growth coefficient to really skyrocket user count.

I will save screenshots of customer feedback now,

p.s. there is also an issue with the upload block where some clients are not able to delete things, this guy ran into it but also another client yesterday complaining about similar issue where videos were uploaded to her frontend but were not accepted and couldn’t be deleted so she had to start the form over from scratch. This guy gave useful, direct feedback:

    Hi Pam,

    Thank you for reaching our and sorry to hear about the experience.

    We are not able to reproduce this. Can you please reach out on our live chat support and provide the form URL so we can investigate further?

    Best,

      I can’t do that, sorry, I just need to keep the data submitted through the form private. Hopefully it would not be reproducible every time, it may be due to the elderly person’s browser idk if they used edge or what, in any case it was happening across multiple customers and I trust them so hopefully the specificity in my writeup was useful.

        Thanks again for taking the time to share these details. We’ve tested this on our end but so far we haven’t been able to reproduce the issue. That said, your feedback is valuable and we’ll continue monitoring to see if other users run into something similar.
