Back button erases CfP proposal progress #1391

Description

@mariobehling

When filling out a Call for Proposals (CfP) submission, progressing through the form works normally until reaching the “Profile” section.
Clicking the “Back” button at the bottom of the page results in a full reset of the proposal form.

All previously entered data is lost, including:

  • Proposal notes
  • Proposal title
  • Uploaded image
  • Any other form fields completed earlier

This forces users to restart their submission from scratch.

Expected Behavior

  • Clicking “Back” should take the user to the previous section without erasing any entered proposal data.
  • All proposal fields should remain populated until submission or explicit user reset.

Current Behavior

  • Clicking “Back” clears the entire proposal form, removing all user input.

Tasks

  • Preserve form state when navigating between CfP sections.
  • Ensure the “Back” button performs page navigation only, not a full form reset.
  • Verify that proposal data persists even if the user moves forward and backward through sections.
  • Test with text fields, image uploads, and multi-step navigation.
