The step skipping has a bit of a learning curve to it. The FormWizard was likely built with shorter and more linear workflows in mind. Note that this package was included in Django core up until 1.7, this package is (literally) the same thing, just broken out into a separate package (most users did not use this functionality and it bloated the code base if I remember the comments in the release notes). While this can be super robust, it will probably not be easy. -James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
