What could be causing the issue where a Multi step form created using formly in Webflow does not submit properly and instead shows a "Please Wait..." message?

A Webflow multi-step form using Formly that gets stuck on "Please Wait..." typically indicates an issue with JavaScript errors, form configuration, or conflicting scripts. Below are the common causes and solutions:

1. Check for JavaScript Errors

• Open Developer Tools (F12 or right-click > Inspect > Console).
• Look for errors in the Console tab that might indicate issues with Formly or Webflow scripts.
• If errors appear, they may be caused by missing scripts, syntax issues, or conflicts with other JavaScript on the page.

2. Ensure Formly is Properly Integrated

• Verify that Formly's required scripts are correctly loaded in the Page Settings > Custom Code section OR inside an Embed Code block in the Webflow Designer.
• Confirm script order: If you are loading jQuery manually, ensure it’s loaded before Formly's script to avoid conflicts.

3. Check Webflow Form Action and Method

• Ensure that the form's Action URL is properly configured (it should not be empty unless using default Webflow form handling).
• If using a third-party form handler (like Zapier or FormSpree), confirm that the correct endpoint URL is set.
• If using Webflow native submission, remove any unnecessary custom Form Actions.

4. Disable Conflicting Scripts or Integrations

• If other form-related scripts (e.g., reCAPTCHA, third-party form validation, or submission-tracking scripts) are active, temporarily disable them and test the form.
• Look specifically for scripts that modify form behavior (e.g., duplicate jQuery calls, custom validation, or event listeners that override submission).

5. Validate Required Fields and Inputs

• Check required fields to ensure all necessary inputs are filled out before submission.
• If a field validation error is hidden in previous steps, it may prevent submission without showing an error.

6. Test in Incognito Mode & Remove Browser Extensions

• Some browser extensions, particularly ad blockers or script blockers, can interfere with JavaScript execution.
• Open the site in incognito/private mode and test the form again.

7. Re-Publish the Webflow Project

• If updates were made to forms or custom scripts, publish the site again to ensure Webflow applies all changes correctly.

Summary

A Webflow form using Formly may get stuck on “Please Wait...” due to JavaScript errors, script conflicts, misconfigured form settings, or blocked form validation. Check the browser console, re-validate Formly integration, disable conflicting scripts, and test in incognito mode. If the issue persists, try re-publishing the site.
