Frontend save &new button and retaining some form values from previous blev oprettet af Nina

I would like to add a button similar to "save2new" button in admin toolbar in my frontend form to add the ability to go back to the form for faster add of multiple items. I've been googling all week and I cant find anything about it. Anybody who knows how to do this?

I also would like some of the fields to retain value from previous submit but I can't figure out how to accomplish this either. I can see in the control function save that all values are cleared with

$app->setUserState('com_mycomp.edit.view.data', NULL);

How do I clear the form only partially?

Any ideas are appreciated!

The "correct" way to accomplish this would be to save the entered data into the users session and then populate that in the form. After saving you should then use $this->redirect($formUrl); in your controller to redirect back to the form instead of where it is redirecting you now.

But a fairly easy hack (potentially) could be to simply echo out <script>window.history.back();</script> which might do the trick. If clicking back in your browser after landing on the current page works, then so will this trick.

Ok, I've changed the return url to return to the form but how do I get some (not all values) to remain after previous submit?

That is more complicated. Maybe the easiest is to use jQuery to reset the fields you DON'T want to remember.

$('#fieldId').value('');

Yes, disabling data flush in controller and adding a jQuery reset seems to do the trick! Thanks!
