I created a form that collect the data and stores it in a dataset. This works fine when I have the dataset as “form submission.” I have a repeater where I want to put in the information from the dataset. This works fine in preview. In live view the form works well but the repeater is blank. If the change the dataset to “site contents” the repeater fills but the form breaks.
My site is CharltonCityUMC.org and the pages are Prayer Requests and Prayer wall. This is urgent due to churches being closed now.
Set the permissions on the dataset to Read AND Write (by Everyone).
When I do that the form is preloaded with the last persons info. It seems as if I need two identical datasets. One to collect the data and one that can be read.
I am closing the other thread from yourself as you have duplicate posts going on.

When you say that it is preloaded with the last persons info, do you mean something like autofilled as the form should be blank for each user unless they are using the same device and filling in the form one after each other.
Yes like autofill. I am testing in on my pc but I am reloading the page between each try.
Well then that is the reason why it is autofilling for you as you are using the same device to submit the form each time, with you simply just reloading the page.
This is not a Wix issue as it is down to your web browser which is storing your inputs in the browsers storage and then autofilling it when you come back to that page as you have filled it in previously.
If you don’t want to have the page have the autofill option, then you need to look at turning it off in your web browsers settings or you will have to close your browser so that the browsers storage is cleared and you might need to clear cache and cookies as well.
You can read more about it here in the Wix Storage API which allows you to use Wix to store things in the storage through either local, session or memory.

What’s the difference between local, session, and memory storage?
-
Local storage persists, even if the visitor closes your site. When the visitor reopens the page later, you can still retrieve data stored in local storage.
-
Session storage persists as long as the visitor’s web session is active. The session ends when the visitor closes the browser tab or window. When the session ends, all the data in session storage is lost. Reloading or restoring the page does not affect session storage data.
-
Memory storage persists as long the visitor does not refresh or close the page.
The other option is to have a reset button on your form as well as the submit button, so if users click on the reset button it will clear all the inputs entries and set them back to their default.
