Hi there

I am trying to build a shopping cart for a product with several add ons (which means several calculations) and I would like to have a “Continue” button that sets the values of a form, instead of using the “Send” button on top. Do you know how can I do this? It’s not showing up in the predefined actions and if I create one it only allows me to set two out of 8 columns.

Thanks!
