I wrote an app that allows people to login to fill out an application. It has quite a few text areas that have to be filled out, so the idea was to allow them to fill out partial and come back and work on it and eventually submit it. The last stage before submit I pull all the data into a final form and allow them to submit it if they are satisfied. It set's required on the fields at that stage. There are three related db tables (models). So maybe, I'm thinking about this wrong. Instead of having two or three forms on a single page, maybe I need to built one from from the three related models at the end.
