so evidently if I turn a form into a multistep form:
if(!isset($form_state['storage']['step']))
$form_state['storage']['step'] = 1;
and do form_set_error() in validate
when the validation error appears, the values that I previously put in would disappear.....
so If I enter a value into a textbox in a multistep form then hit continue then validation error appears, the textbox will now be empty instead of being filled with my previously entered values as it would happen normally
is there a way to prevent this from happening without manually reentering the default values for every form element?
fyi I'm using drupal 6
