Remembered fields feature

[hughbris]

I've used this simple hack successfully and it would certainly suit me to have it integrated.

The 'remember' processing instruction is useful in scenarios where a user is expected to repeatedly use a form and will want certain fields to be pre-populated with their values from last time. Obviously this is only appropriate in private user environments.

My use case was a medical referral form. Referring practitioners do not need to re-enter their own details each subsequent time they complete the form and can concentrate on patient details.

Here is the relevant form YAML:

    - name: practitioner-name
        label: Practitioner name
        type: text
        hint: You will only need to complete this once per browser/device. It should be recalled subsequent occasions.
        validate:
            required: true

    - name: practitioner-address
        type: textarea
        label: Your address
        rows: 3
        placeholder: 'Your postal address for correspondence, including postcode'
        validate:
            required: true

    - name: practitioner-phone
        type: text
        label: Your phone
        validate:
            required: true

    - name: practitioner-email
        type: email
        label: Your email
        validate:
            required: true

and further down:

    - remember:
        - practitioner-name
        - practitioner-address
        - practitioner-phone
        - practitioner-email

There's an extraneous edited line where the honeypot code is that I couldn't eliminate, sorry about that

A useful feature.. just need to remember to document it!

@hughbris I had to remove the check for is_object() as it breaks some other fields taking objects as values. Was there any reason why you had it there?

[hughbris]

I'm sorry I can't remember precisely but I have a feeling something failed without that check. You might have to test on some object-type fields, can't even recall what they were :/

@hughbris Please check the next beta.5 when it gets out.
