Hello, I’m running into a strange problem (this worked before), basically, the issue is, that when I’m using the form = “formID” set up as shown in the following screenshots, it doesn’t work at all. Just doesn’t trigger the form submit. All required fields are turned off.

Here is the DOM - Left and Right contain the fields. The top right button is the sender. I even tried flipping the DOM order, but with no success, I even tried to delete all the fields in the form, still seems to not work.

Note for anyone. For some reason, you need to switch this to “Submit button”, not grape UX, but I’ll let it slide 😃

the `ww-button` sets also the `type` automatically. For a normal button it’s set to `button`, and that would disable the default behaviour of form submission.
