Save as Draft button, by default, will only save the form data without validation.

Complete button, by default, will validate the form data and complete the assignment.

Save As Draft with Validation button, which is part of the article here, will validate and save the form data but not complete the assignment.

1. To create a new button, open the form in the form builder.
2. Create a new section at the bottom of the form.
3. Edit the section's load data store, and set it to Bean Shell Form data store.

4. In the Bean Shell Form data store, add the following code.

   import org.joget.apps.form.lib.SubmitButton;
   import org.joget.apps.form.lib.CustomHTML;
   import org.joget.apps.form.model.Column;
   import org.joget.apps.form.model.Element;
   import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormAction;
   import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormData;
   import org.joget.apps.form.model.Section;
   import org.joget.apps.form.service.FormUtil;
   import java.util.ArrayList;
   import java.util.Collection;
   
   Collection formActions = new ArrayList();
   String saveButtonLabel = "Save As Draft with Validation";
   Element saveButton = new SubmitButton();
   saveButton.setProperty(FormUtil.PROPERTY_ID, "customSaveAsDraft");
   saveButton.setProperty("label", saveButtonLabel);
   formActions.add(saveButton);
   
   
   Section section = element;
   ArrayList columns = (ArrayList) section.getChildren();
   
   
   Column column = columns.get(0);
   column.setProperty("horizontal", "true");
   column.setChildren(formActions);
   
   
   //add a custom html to fix the layout issue
   Element html = new CustomHTML();
   String script = "<script>$(document).ready(function(){";
   script += "$(\"#"+section.getPropertyString("id")+"\").find(\".form-cell\").prependTo(\"#section-actions .form-column\");";
   script += "$(\"#"+section.getPropertyString("id")+"\").remove();";
   script += "});</script>";
   html.setProperty("id", "button_layout_fixes");
   html.setProperty("label", "");
   html.setProperty("value", script);
   formActions.add(html);
   
   
   return null;
