Answering my own question... I debugged my brain a bit and got something working with branching. Here's my interpretation of my brain bug.
First a "step" is not something attached to a particular form. Its the index in a sequence. The same form might be step 2 with one branching structure but step 3 for another. Second, the "condition_dict" keyword to wizard.as_view() should be thought only as "use or don't use" a form. For me, this mean I had to stop thinking of how to make the wizard go from one node to another in a flow chart. Its as if all nodes in a flow chart are possible and the condition_dict is used to look up-stream in the flow-chart to decide if a particular node (form) should be used. I still would like to be able to design a wizard as a flow chart wtih branches that switch based upon field values. I'd like to do this very directly. Perhaps I will write a django contrib that effectively tales input as a directed-graph that represents the flow chart, and generates the right condition_dict to make it happen. (but first I have an app to build) On Friday, August 3, 2012 7:27:03 PM UTC-7, mtnhiker wrote: > > I think I must be missing something.
