Cross-screen field support with conditional rules in Wizards and a new "back" button for easier navigation

Hello everyone,

We're introducing cross-screen field support with conditional rules in Wizards!

Previously, conditional rules were limited to just one screen, which forced users to create extra fields to link information between screens. Now, with cross-screen field support, you can set up conditions that pull information from previous screens and apply them as you move forward.

For example, in a bank account registration wizard:

1. The first screen collects basic details such as name, phone number, email address, and age.

2. The second screen gathers address information.

3. The third screen displays guardian information, but only if the age field from the first screen is less than or equal to 18.

This rule is created using the conditional rule on the third screen, which is based on the input field value entered in the first screen.

Cross-screen field support enables users to set rules that draw on fields from previous screens while keeping actions tied to the specific screen to which they apply. This creates a dynamic, user-friendly experience where conditions adapt based on prior inputs.

Now let's consider another scenario—a product customization wizard:

1. The first screen collects basic information.

2. The second screen prompts the user to choose a product type ("smartphone" or "laptop") and input the model name.

3. Based on these choices, the third screen offers relevant options—such as color selections for smartphones or processor configurations for laptops—using conditional rules that reference previous screens' inputs.

This makes the process efficient while keeping each action screen-specific.

In both cases, cross-screen field support enables you to set rules that draw on fields from previous screens, while keeping actions tied to the specific screen to which they apply. This creates a dynamic, user-friendly experience where conditions adapt based on prior inputs.

Additionally, with the "back" button on the bottom left corner of the screen, users can move between different screens more easily, which adds convenience to the breadcrumb navigation on top.
