Stop the Workarounds: We Need Native Multi-Step Forms

// Step 1 form On Success:
step2_url = "#Form:Step_2_Employment?Employee_Lookup=" + input.ID;
openUrl(step2_url, "same window");

// Step 2 form On Load:
if(input.Employee_Lookup != null)
{
    emp = Employee[ID == input.Employee_Lookup];
    input.Name = emp.Name;
    input.Email = emp.Email;
    // ... populate all fields from Step 1
}

// Step 1 Stateless Form - "Next" button:
step2_url = "#Form:Step_2_Stateless?" 
    + "Name=" + encodeUrl(input.Name) 
    + "&Email=" + encodeUrl(input.Email)
    + "&Phone=" + encodeUrl(input.Phone)
    + "&Address=" + encodeUrl(input.Address)
    + "&City=" + encodeUrl(input.City)
    + "&State=" + encodeUrl(input.State)
    + "&Zip=" + encodeUrl(input.Zip);
    // ... repeat for EVERY field
openUrl(step2_url, "same window");

// Step 2 Stateless Form - "Next" button:
step3_url = "#Form:Step_3_Stateless?"
    // Pass ALL fields from Step 1 again...
    + "Name=" + encodeUrl(input.Name)
    + "&Email=" + encodeUrl(input.Email)
    // ... plus all Step 2 fields
    + "&Department=" + encodeUrl(input.Department)
    + "&Manager=" + encodeUrl(input.Manager);
openUrl(step3_url, "same window");

// Final Form - actually saves the record

// Radio field "Current_Step" with options: Step 1, Step 2, Step 3...

// On User Input of Current_Step:
if(input.Current_Step == "Step 1")
{
    show Section_Personal_Info;
    hide Section_Employment;
    hide Section_Banking;
}
else if(input.Current_Step == "Step 2")
{
    hide Section_Personal_Info;
    show Section_Employment;
    hide Section_Banking;
}
// ... repeat for each step
