Saving of partly submitted form data - coming back later to finish survey

[binford6000]

Nextcloud (please complete the following information):

• Nextcloud-Version: 30.0.5
• Forms-Version: 5.0.0-alpha.0

Describe the solution you'd like
Especially with big surveys with hundreds of questions it might make sense to save the survey intermediately and allow authenticated users to come back later to finish the survey. Eg. a survey with ~300 questions, it cannot be expected of the users to fill in that survey in one long shift.

@binford6000 this is already possible, the already entered data will be saved in Local Storage and you can continue to fill the form later.

Oh really?! Sorry, didn't find this one...
Is there any message that tells the user that this is possible/will be done?

It was announced in the changelogs for 3.4.0 :)

Thx. But i meant is there anything for the user? A hint telling authenticated users that they can come back later to finish the survey or something like that? And: How about the anonymous users? It would be nice to have a warning to tell them that progress isn't saved.

It works also for public shares. Progress is always saved in the browser. Currently there's no documentation other than the changelog. But feel free to open a pull request :)
