    submit & new button

    I have a form attached to a simple list.  I want to allow users to add multiple items to the list without having to re-open the form every time.  So I modified the buttons at the bottom of the form to include the usual "submit" and "cancel", as well the additional "submit & new" button.  I wrote rules for this button that when pressed it submits the data to the list and changes field values back to defaults or blanks.  the rules  work, but when I add the second or subsequent item, it simply writes over the first item from the form.  this means that all I can do it seems is add one item to the list with each form open.  I don't  want that to be true, I want the form to be smarter and more user friendly than that.  Does anyone have a work around?

    (I thought about a kludgy workaround, where I save the data to a third temporary location, then run a workflow to move the data back to my original list, but a) I don't really know how to do that, b) I don't know if it would work, and c) it's kludgy and gives me  more stuff to maintain.

     

    Please help,

    I think the only way to do this is to change the Submit Options, so the form always opens a new record on Submit. See attached screenshot.
