A form is a component of your Zoho Creator app that enables you to collect and store data. In other words, forms enable your users to provide their data through your app. This makes forms one of the main points of interaction between your users and your app.

At times, users may accidentally click the Enter/Return key before intentionally submitting forms with important or irreversible actions (for example, making a payment). Users may also enter incorrect or incomplete information in your form and accidentally click the Enter key. In both the above cases, prompting the user for confirmation before submitting a form gives them a chance to review their input before finalizing their action, thereby reducing the likelihood of unintended submissions.

Creator enables you to show a confirmation popup upon clicking the Enter/Return key to acknowledge the users' intended action. This popup summarizes the consequences of the users' action (form will be submitted) and ensures that users fully understands what will happen next. Users can then confirm their submission by either pressing the Enter key again or clicking the Submit button in the popup. 

Let's assume that you've created a Creator application named Course Management. In this application, the Course Payments form collects payment details for courses. Upon clicking Submit, this form redirects to the configured payment gateway's page. To ensure that users don't unintentionally complete a purchase, you can enable the Confirm Form Submission property that displays a popup when the Enter/Return key is clicked. This ensures that the user actually intends to move forward with form submission and its subsequent actions (such as opening a payment gateway upon form submission), thereby also contributing to a more positive and user-friendly experience. 

 

Your users will now see the confirmation popup appear when they accidentally click the Enter/Return key while entering data.

For stateless forms, you can add custom (scriptable) buttons which trigger workflows when clicked on. By default, the Submit button in a stateless form does not have any action attributed to it. You can associate workflows with the Submit button for it to execute an action on command.

When users accidentally click the Enter/Return key in a stateless form, the name of the action custom configured upon clicking the Submit button will appear in the popup.
