1 BaySunshine 6 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hi @TimJaggs, The only way to do an auto save in Caspio is by using Grid Edit functionality of a report. The Grid Edit works like an Excel sheet wherein you enter data in each cell and the system automatically saves the data. Here is the howto link for Grid Edit: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/reports/data-editing-options-in-reports/ The other suggestion that Caspio usually gives for long forms is to create a multi-step form. In this the first step uses a submission page and the rest uses Details page with auto submission. You can refer to the steps from this article https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/common-customizations/how-to-create-a-multi-page-form/. Hope it helps.

0 MayMusic 117 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Since input page and update pages are not the same in Caspio and if you save one row in the table for completing the column values you need to create an update form, there needs to be another DataPage to perform this task. Unless with back-end programming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for this BaySunshine - I appreciate it and and I apologize for responding so late; I had to move over to a different project for the last few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
