What is the issue causing the populated form fields in Webflow to clear out after 1 second?
If the populated form fields in Webflow are clearing out after 1 second, it is likely due to an interaction or custom code that is interfering with the form functionality. Here are some possible causes and solutions to fix this issue:
Interaction conflicting with form submission: If you have an interaction that triggers when the form is submitted, it could be interfering with the form's default behavior of retaining the entered values. To fix this, try disabling the interaction temporarily and test if the form fields still clear out. If the issue is resolved, you will need to adjust the interaction or find an alternative approach to achieve the desired functionality without impacting the form submission.
Custom code triggering form reset: If you have custom code implemented on your page that manipulates the form in any way, it might be inadvertently triggering a form reset function. Check your custom code to ensure that it does not include any code that clears the form fields. You can comment out or remove the code temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
Browser autofill settings: Some browsers have autofill features that automatically fill in form fields based on previous input. However, these autofill features can sometimes conflict with Webflow's form functionality. In this case, you can try turning off autofill settings in your browser and see if the issue persists.
Form submission action set to page refresh: If the form has been set up to refresh the page upon submission, it will reload the whole page, causing the form fields to be cleared. To rectify this, make sure the form's submission action is correctly set to prevent page refresh. You can do this by adding a custom form submission event handler that prevents the default behavior.
Form validation resetting the fields: If you have implemented form validation in Webflow, it may be triggering the reset of form fields when it detects an error. Check your validation settings and scripts to ensure they are not unintentionally resetting the fields. Adjust the validation logic to retain the form field values upon validation failure.
It's important to thoroughly test your forms after implementing any changes to ensure that the issue has been resolved and that the form fields are no longer clearing out after 1 second.
