I am fairly new to forms in django.
My issue is I have a few very large models that I have to break up into a series of smaller forms for the users to fill out.
So I've been playing around with crispy forms and yesterday after watching Mike Hibberts tutorial ( Python Django tutorial 19 - Using the Form Wizard ) on youtube I wanted to see if I could make this work with a crispy form.
Everything seems to render ok to me, however when I press submit the form seems to be validated but does not proceed to step 2.
Am I doing this completely wrong??
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Have a great day!!!
I think i have solved a little bit of the issue, or maybe just got lucky.
In forms.py where the meta() fields = '__ all __'
needs to be changed to reflect the fields of interest, I used the variable Sheet1_layout and Sheet2_layout. After that the wizard seems proceed to the next step.
forms.py
For anyone in the future i think ive solved my issue. took a little while for me to figure it out but my persistent tinkering payed off. sorry im not going into detail about what i had to change, but im sure most of you can see the changes from the code i posted. the forms look great! the session wizard works as expected! and all seems to be ok. best of luck everyone!!
