For simplicity's sake I'd encourage you to use separate button components for "Next" and "Submit" buttons in your use case.

Abbreviated, it would be something like this:

a!buttonWidget(
  label: "Next",
  ...
  showWhen: not(local!isOnLastPage)
),
a!buttonWidget(
  label: "Submit",
  ...
  showWhen: local!isOnLastPage
)

In this example, you can store a local variable local!isOnLastPage in such a way that it updates to a value of TRUE when the last page is reached. The benefit to doing it this way is, if you ever update the logic determining how the form tells when the last page is reached, you only need to update the local variable definition and not chase down individual components that used the logic separately.

Thanks, it worked. Really helped me understand buttons and how to make it dynamic in a page. If you have other suggestions of learning how to use buttons (perhaps other examples) please let me know.

Hi There,

If you already know what will be your final/last page number, try below code for button.

a!buttonWidget(
label: if(local!page= "MaxValueOfPage(i.e=3)","Submit","Next"),
submit: if(local!page= "MaxValueOfPage",true(),false()),
cancelbuttonlabel: "BACK",
value: if(local!page="MaxValueOfPage",
local!page ,
local!page + 1),
saveInto: local!page,
style: "PRIMARY"
)
Regards,
Simple

Hi erics171 ,
In the a!buttonWidget we have one parameter call "submit" which takes boolean value( default it is false ) which submits the form, in your case using local!page determine last page and make submit parameter as true
