How to manually redirect one step to another in webform using JavaScript

[shahriat]

I have following code added in a webform step's custom JavaScript. When click on Next button after validating some data I want to redirect to the next step but it doesn't work.

$(document).ready(function () {

webFormClientValidate = function () {

validateX(function(flag) {

return flag;

});

};

 });

function validateX(callback) {

    checkX()

        .then((response) => {

            if (!response) {

                $('html, body').animate({

                    'scrollTop': $('.validation-summary').position().top

                });

            } else {

                var entityId = $('#EntityFormView_EntityID').val();

                return returnPromise1(entityId);

            }

        }).then((entityId) => {

            if (entityId&& entityId.length > 0) return returnPromise2(entityId);

        }).then((entityId) => {

            if (entityId&& entityId.length > 0) {

                callback(true);

            }

            else callback(false);

        });

}

how can I redirect to the next step using these above code?

Hi, just to double check, is this a Power Apps Portals question?

have you followed the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/configure/add-custom-javascript

Hi Oliver, 

Thanks a lot for your reply. 

I have asked the question related to portal and already added my above code as custom javascript in one of the webform's step.

Thanks

thanks for clarifying 

I would recommend following MS documentation on the web form validation (link sent previously)

Don't think it will work.  Believe the steps (navigation) are managed in a form session stored in CRM e.g. if you are on Step 1 and paste the url from Step 4 think you will find Step 4 is not loaded.

Question would be why do you need to manually load a Step rather than using the existing Condition step logic?

Any help on that? I’m facing a similar issue. 
The reason is that for the condition step logic to work you need an existing record to perform the condition logic on.

My client is expecting 1000s of forms being filled out with only a fraction qualifying to actually create a record, based on a series of questions. Need to avoid creating 1000s of records that wouldn‘t have a future either way.

My approach is using JavaScript validation on the Next/Submit button with the function webFormClientValidate.

How would I include a redirect directive in JavaScript on that button?

Please help if you know the answer.

Best regards,
