We have a UI has multiple filter options, but only a few are required. Users find it tedious to tab through all the fields, especially when most are optional. Additionally, users often press Enter expecting the form to submit, but nothing happens, leading to frustration.

Maybe not a blocker per se, but a a common convention on the web that users expect and that is causing frustration, but thanks for recommending a substitute. 🙏

For the time you wait for that feature to appear, would the TAB key to jump to the submit button, followed by SPACE on the button be an alternative

Can we have a feature request for the FORM layout to map one of the form submit buttons to the "ENTER" event in the UI?

no, just enter without selection of the submit button is not possible.

Hello Richard Michaelis,

what I think rmazouzif is asking is, to press on enter while in the input field and submit the form/User task.

I also was thinking is it possible to do so?

shortly.

usage in the application
you can use shift to change between the UI elements. From text to buttons usually all the elements are selectable.
The moment the button is selected you can press Enter.
