I have a page that generates reports. It has a form asking for start date and number of weeks. When input is received, it prints the report and below the report shows the form again with the h2 heading “Generate Another Report.” See example at https://pik.redpup.net/reports/.

Because the reports can be very long, when I display a report I put a button at the top that says “generate another report” and links to “#generate” which is the ID for the h2 at the bottom of the page. Saves people from scrolling all the way.

But when the form is posted, it retains “#generate” as part of its action URL and so if the user posts another form, they are scrolled past the new report back to the generate form. This is the case whether method is post or get.

The piklist/parts/fields/form.php file starts with:

<form 
  method="<?php echo strtolower($data['method']); ?>" 
  action="<?php echo $data['filter'] ? home_url() . $data['action'] : null; ?>" 

So I tried adding an “Action” parameter to the parts/forms file:

/*  
Title: Choose Report
Method: post
Action: /reports/
Message: 
*/

But it has no effect. Is there a way to override the default action?
