Scroll to top when navigate through interfaces

Question

I am not sure it is a basic or i am missing a point . 
 We're working with a multi-interface navigation in Appian (6 interfaces navigated via buttons). When a user clicks a button to go to the next interface, the interface loads correctly, but the page does not scroll to the top. 
 We do not want to use a process model with chaining to reload the form. We also tried using formLayout(focusOnFirstInput: true) but that didn&rsquo;t help. 
 How can we make the form automatically scroll to the top on each interface load using only SAIL/interface logic? 
 Setup : headercontent layout hosts - header, contents {two interfaces}. interface1 have 2 columns , first column hosts navigation and other one hosts subinterfaces interface 2 have buttons : Go Back , Save & Continue 
 How it works: On the first page (interface), the user fills out the details and scrolls down to click the "Save & Continue" button. When clicked, the navigation counter increments, and the user is taken to the next page(second interface)&mdash;but the view does not scroll back to the top.

It is not possible to make a form automatically scroll to the top when navigating between interfaces using only interface logic. When you dynamically switch content (whether using conditional logic, choose() functions, or calling different sub-interfaces), Appian's framework intentionally preserves the current scroll position to maintain user context. The only way to achieve automatic scroll-to-top is by using a process model with chaining (which reloads the form) or by navigating to separate Site pages. AFAIK, This is a fundamental limitation of Appian's client-side framework design, not a configuration issue that can be solved through interface logic alone. Workaround(If possible) : Keep form sections short enough to fit on one screen, so users naturally reach navigation buttons without scrolling. Use collapsible sections for optional fields and secondary content - this reduces form height while keeping everything accessible.
