Move To One Form Submission To Another From A Selected Gallery Item

Overview

In this article, we will see how we can edit multiple items in a SharePoint list one by one on the success of form submission. In scenarios where you don't want your users to always select an item to edit from a Gallery, this solution is best suited.

I will give my best in giving you a suitable example in explanation to these scenarios. Let' see below step by step how we can achieve this.
