Multiple Forms on One Page

Posted on by LauraG1

I have an organisation details page on my power pages website.

I have it set up in a tab format where they can enter their details, board member details, staff details etc.

I would like to keep it on the one page page if possible but I am now getting error An entry with the same key already exists. on a few of the forms on the page

All of the forms are :

{% entityform name: 'NewBoard' %}

{% entityform name: 'Information' %}
{% entityform name:'NewStaff' %}

Is it possible to have multiple creation forms on one page?

Thanks

I would not recommend multiple forms on the same Web Page. I have seen someone use 1 form and then reformat each form tab, as a tab on the webpage using JQuery/JavaScript and CSS. But first step is to probably look as using a Multistep form as per Robert's post.

Also, I can't remember which one (possibly may have been Community) but one of the old Dynamics 365 site templates used to have a set of Web Templates that behaved as Tabs.

Hey, the problem is that you can't have more than one form associated to the submission event. When you submit a form the whole page submits, if that makes sense. You need like a custom AJAX submission form instead if you insist on multiple forms present on one page. I don't recommend that. YOu could also try something with iFrames.

I recommend forgetting this approach and use either multi-step Web Forms (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/multistep-form-properties) or use entity list actions or something if things are relatively simple.

Given your scenario - my approach would probably be to use sub-grids plus modal actions for related records to one central hub record. For example you have one edit form for an account, then a sub-grid of related contacts with an edit action and modal forms for those.
