As an Submitter I want to be able to create & save a pre-populated template for a given form. This can be done in two different ways:
A Submitter submits the form once which generates a submission that they can go back to whenever they want. The new feature would be that if they want to submit the form again (i.e. new quarter) then they can start from the previously completed submission to have the field pre-populated from that previous submission
A Submitter simply generates an actual “template” type submission which can then be used to create a new submission which would be pre-populated with the values set in the template.
At this point, both solutions should be explored, as they can both serve their own purpose.
Some forms are filled out on a regular basis and some data points will have the same value from one submission to another. Having them pre-filled can simplify the user experience and help with data consistency by limiting the load on the user.
