Does anyone have any experience with multi-step forms to create / update content? Existing Drupal modules that I've found are pretty old and seem somewhat shaky. I'm guessing that people who've needed this kind of interface wrote custom solutions.

It is possible to remove that line manually from the SQL file and it should then import to MySQL fine.
Problem with utf8mb4 Format when importing database
I think people have used bee in MAMP. I've posted in our chat channel to see if anyone can jump in here and help: #Backdrop > Bee @ 💬

Hi Thanks for the quick answer. Looks interesting and hope I can verify that this solves the issue. Not yet sure how I can use the bee tool in my MAMP environment. Cheers, Rolf

This may be overkill, but the module print contains an option to email the page as well, I believe. I'm not sure if its working in its Backdrop's version. https://github.com/backdrop-...

If it's just about some simple data, Webform is probably your friend. Then display form submissions in a view.
If it has to be nodes, hook_form_alter() might be your friend.
But maybe @docwilmot has better tips. It seems, he ported/forked the Ctools form wizard.
I did wonder if doing some kind of Webform => node submission would do it. Depends on if they need the multistep only for creation, or for editing as well.
Sorry I dont have a ready solution to this. The big issue is of course if you need multistep editing as well as creation, in which case Webform wouldnt help. A custom mutistep form would also be complicated if you decided to be able to add or remove new fields.
Best bet is to port https://www.drupal.org/project/msnf. It isnt pretty old (2011) but not sure if its shaky.
