Issue: When a rootline is used for a multi-page form, showing page titles per step, if the user edits their "Draft", the Rootline only displays Page 1, and Summary, without the individual pages in between. If you change the page, all the individual pages 2 - 6 are displayed.

Steps:

  1. Create Form
  2. Create multiple pages 1 - 4
  3. Set a Check Box Option on page 1 with 3 options (Page 2, Page 3, Page 4)
  4. Set conditional actions on "Next/Prev" bar to display only if Check box option equals said page
  5. Put at least 1 field on each page
  6. Enable the Summary feature
  7. Enable Rootline (Below form title, show page titles with steps, hide page numbers, hide lines)
  8. Enable editing from the front end, and saving Draft
  9. Fill out the form as a Subscriber user
  10. Edit your draft
  11. The Rootline only shows Page 1, and Summary, it fails to show pages 2, 3, and 4.

Expected Result: When editing the form, the Page Titles are displayed for all pages. TL;DR: When editing a draft of a multi-page form, the pages who's conditional action is required to display, is failing to recognize that those pages should be displayed in the form on Draft Edit. It requires you to first change page, by accessing Summary, or hitting Next in order to see the Rootline Pages between Page 1 > Summary.

Have you opened a ticket with Strategy 11 support? It sounds like you found a possible bug with how Formidable tracks a draft form's state, if that's what your results are indicating. Before you can call it a bug, is the problem reproducible across many forms with similar construction, or is it just the one form you're working on? The problem you are having has not been mentioned before in this forum as far as I know and I am here every day. Strategy 11 support would know if this problem is happening for many users or just you. If it turns out it's just you reporting this problem, it would strongly suggest a problem in your hosting environment.
