I've noticed several other things that may be causing an issue:
The OnSuccess calls ResetForm and then NewForm; only NewForm is required
There is a different form referenced than used with your Submit button (RegistrationForm_1 vs RegistrationForm_2)
The trainNumber variable is being set at this point - is this the intended behavior? If that card is part of your form, it is being cleared/defaulted prior to this Set and may not have the value you expect
Any of these things could contribute to the errors you are seeing

This error indicates a problem I described in point #2 above: The appropriate Default/Update properties for each card on the form need to be populated with valid data. The form will not submit successfully unless it has all required fields filled out for the new record.

OK, can you tell us where your app calls NewForm() so we can verify that is working correctly? It doesn't appear in the OnSelect property of the Submit button, so it must be somewhere else.

Also, please open a Monitor session before you test the app next, so we can verify the actions of the app.

@BCLS776 yes this is already there,, but what do you exactly mean by "to submit a second record of data"?
My understanding so far is that you wanted to submit the form a second time, resulting in a second record in your data source - are you after something different than that?

To get a form to submit a second record of data, you'll need to have two things working:
The form needs to be in FormMode.New (usually done by calling NewForm)
The appropriate Default/Update properties for each card on the form need to be populated with valid data
Do you know if that is the case with your app?
