Hi Brian, The feature I have mentioned is implemented in 1.5.3 (*1). But Stripes' wizard itself is a simple mechanism to carry request parameters over between pages and doesn't populate form elements for your domain object automatically.
My recommendation is to pre-populate the 'user' object before each event as described in the 'Best Practice' page. Please see the usage of @Before method in my post you had found. You will need a hidden form element which holds the id of a user on each page for the pre-population. -- *1) Related tickets: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-647 http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-726 Hope this helps, Iwao on 10/04/21 3:59 brian.mcswee...@gmail.com said the following: > Hi guys, > > I'm new to stripes and I'm trying to do what should be super easy.
