How to use data that has been set in the first form to the next form?

Hello,

I have 3 pages with 3 forms which is a multi-screen form.

On the last page I have two buttons:

One button will send the data to the database and returns the user to the home page

The second button will send the data to the database and returns the user to the second form page.

I would like to make the second button so that when the user clicks it, the data of the first page is already filled in by what has been filled in before so that he / she doesn't have to fill this again and can skip this step and go straight to the second form.

This is how my code looks right now:

Patch('Lead Form', varFormData, Form1.Updates, Form2.Updates, Form3.Updates, Form4.Updates, Form5.Updates);

If(
 IsEmpty(Errors('Lead Form')),
 Notify( 
 "Success",
 NotificationType.Success
 );
 Navigate('Form - Contact Info Page'),
 Notify(First(Errors('Lead Form')).Message,
 NotificationType.Error
 )
)

hi, i have not had a chance to test this but you could set a variable containing the updates then refer to the variable in the contact form.

Set(Var_Updates,Patch('Lead Form', varFormData, Form1.Updates, Form2.Updates, Form3.Updates, Form4.Updates, Form5.Updates));
If(
IsEmpty(Errors('Lead Form')),
Notify(
"Success",
NotificationType.Success
);
Navigate('Form - Contact Info Page'),
Notify(First(Errors('Lead Form')).Message,
NotificationType.Error
)
)

then the default values that you want to pre populate would be Var_Updates.[ColumnName]

I tried to solution above but I had some issues with it as I didn't know how to use the set variable in my form.

I found however the solution myself. I could simply add a resetForm to my second button which resets the forms that I didn't want to have set as default data. I then just navigate to the second page, skipping the first page (which I didn't reset). This keeps the data of the first page and I can immediately add new information on the other pages.
