Solution 13b9d3358da5acdbfdbcd149f0ad91250e043bfa still causes some problems upon submissions. Business registration submit button does not submit. Patch was removed.

This still an issue?

[alariva]

Unfortunately, it is. You can reproduce it by clicking many times a submit button on a form.

There exist some ways to workaround it with javascript, but I believe it needs some research. There should be a stardard way to get around with this.

I will take a look at this. I had the same issue at work and was able to resolve it through Javascript.

Glad to know! Thanks for jumping in.

You may use demo.timegrid.io to reproduce the issue, and I may provide another development environment if required. Just let me know! :)

Thanks, I have a vagrant box spun up and will start playing around with the system.

@alariva What were the issues with your solution? I've fixed this on another website. There I disabled the button after submit.

It looks like this patch made form submission to not work at all (sorry, I have no further details on this), but I agree with a working js approach as long as its easy to implement on most affected forms in a reusable way.
