Hello all, I am facing an issue where I am unable to get the workflow triggered for ‘onSubmit’ action on a form to work in Preview mode. (Screen Recording attached) I can make it work in Debugger / Workflow mode From the documentation, I have verified the following conditions are all met: - is the workflow on the `Form container`? **Yes** - is it triggered `On submit`? **Yes** - is the form button a `Submit button`? (check the `Settings` tab of the button) **Yes** - is the form button enabled? (check it’s not disabled in the `Settings` tab of the button) **Yes** - is the submit button inside the form container? **Yes** Please note that I have a repeating element inside the form (inside the Education div block) Screen Recording: [Screen Recording 2023-11-23 at 11.05.58 AM.mov - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BMKedhGUT9Ai--QrvrP8isCcl8-xSfTH/view?usp=sharing) ---

Hello @pravictor, I think the issue is that you have a workflow on your section “Content”. So only this workflow is executed. If you want to keep this workflow, in the workflow of your form, you can add an action “Custom Javascript” with the code `event.stopPropagation();` Let me know if it’s working 🙂 ---

> [@Mael](#): > > event.stopPropagation(); Hi @Mael Thanks for responding. I tried doing what you suggested and I also tried deleting the workflow on “Content” to see if it solved the problem - however both did not work. ---

@Mael Thanks, I have done it. ---

In your form container, you have set some with required. But you have hidden these inputs. When you click on the submit button, nothing is happening because you didn’t fill all required field. And your browser can’t display the message to tell you that this input is required because you hide it ---

Same issue here that Mael solved! I had bound data that was hidden. After I deleted those, button worked fine. ---

@dpaget21 you need to use the “Submit form” action: [Form container | WeWeb Documentation](https://docs.weweb.io/elements/form-container.html#submit-a-form)
