runs as it should.
You should probably name "contactNew" structure more specific to your app.
The structDelete(contactNew.form, "BTNSUBMIT"); stuff is just so I don't
save buttons in the structure
Its as simple as calling the following for the first time, i.e. you have not
created the session structure yet.
<!--- store form --->
<cfinvoke component="#application.setting["mapping"]#component/form"
method="fnStore">
<cfinvokeargument name="formField" value="#form#">
</cfinvoke>
And the following to append, i.e. every submit after the the above
<!--- append form --->
<cfinvoke component="#application.setting["mapping"]#component/form"
method="fnAppend">
<cfinvokeargument name="formField" value="#form#">
</cfinvoke>
Should you want to copy everything back to the FORM scope you run the
following
<!--- reinitialize form --->
<cfinvoke component="#application.setting["mapping"]#component/form"
method="fnReinitialize" returnvariable="form">
<cfinvokeargument name="formContainer"
value="#session.contactNew.form#">
</cfinvoke>
