Hi All,

Is there any option in Glide to autosave data while filling long forms like more than 10 or 20 fields?

Thank you,  
P.R

I don’t think that is possible with the native form. If you want the “autosave” to happen you can build a tab that would act as your form and contains as many user-specific columns as you need for all the fields. Then add a form button, collect all data via Columns component.

The forms in my app are very long and user entry intensive and I was also thinking to ask for autosave feature. Users will be frustrated if they have to abandon the form and when they return, it’s blank - common user expectation that form autosaves. @ThinhDinh the workaround is definitely a good intermediate solution but will be tough to scale…I will put in a feature request!
