I am trying to set up a form for offline use that does not reset entirely when it is submitted. For my use case, some information is going to remain the same between submissions. It’ll save time and reduce potential for error if that part of the form can remain even after submitting. As far as I can tell, there is no way to do this - please correct me if I am wrong. Is that an option that could be added to the forms? Perhaps it can be added as an option on the widget?

That sounds useful. You should make a formal feature request at [the Ideas Portal](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/). Include links back and forth.

@Samuel_Howard, have you tried setting that information in the `data` prop?

@pamato Is there a way to do it that will also work in offline mode? The data would be dynamically entered at the time the form is used, but I want it to remain after the form is submitted.

Yeah, there may be some limitations with setting the information in offline mode via the `data` prop due to lack of network access. Can you explain what you mean by the data being dynamically entered at the time the form is used? I’m trying to understand the full workflow you’re looking to achieve.

The workflow is that a tech will go to a remote jobsite where there may not be internet access. They will have multiple pieces of equipment that they will have to submit a form for at that jobsite. Inside that form, the job site information will remain the same between form submissions. As it currently is, they will have to re-enter the job site information every time they submit the form, which could introduce error. For this particular workflow, it is not feasible to hard code location options into the form. So, I was looking for the ability to have the portions of the form that will remain the same for one jobsite visit not reset between form submissions. When they are done at the jobsite, they can press cancel and reset the whole form.
