I have an issue with the form.

Hi All, On the form redirecting course,Alena created a new thank you page and redirect the user a new page after form filled out.When she refreshes the page,she stays on the same page.If she hits back button on web browser,it displays a form page all of the fields are empty.

In my case I did the same thing what she did on the course,but When i hit the back button on the browser,it displays form page with filled out every field.

That might be that your form have not been submitted or saved.

Hi coskun olcucu , from my understanding, this is normal behaviour. Most browser cache form input values. So when user refreshes page, the inputs have same values. If ever you don't want that behaviour by default, there is the possiblity to override it.

Hope it helps.
