Using a field with the same Automation-ID on multiple pages in form

tomaskocourek — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 14:41:00 GMT

Hello,

I have an interact form that contains several pages. I would need to display some common information on each page (ID, title, etc) so that the user can always see which ticket they are working with.

In interact I am unable to create a field that has the same automation-ID more than once. So if I want to share the same data on different pages of the form I have to create a field with a new automation -ID for each input, even if the content of the fields is the same on all pages. Which seems to me to be an unlucky solution.

Is there any way to solve this better? Show the same value on multiple pages of the form with one automation-ID?

Thank you

Hi Tomáš

The only other option (in addition to the one you mentioned above by having a field on each page for the relevant information) is to have all the fields on a single page and make them hidden/visible as appropriate.

It would be very useful to have the option to have a field persist across multiple pages but Interact does not have that functionality currently.

Cheers
