If a button is not submitting a form, which option is a likely cause?

• A. The form contains invalid data
• B. The button was not configured to submit the form.
• C. The user is not assigned to the task
• D. The process is in development

Answer: (B)

Form submission relies on the button being wired to trigger the submit action. If the button isn’t configured to submit the form, clicking it won’t send the form data or run validation, so the form never submits. In practice, ensure the button is set to submit (or connected to the form’s submit handler) and is inside the form. Other possibilities don’t fit the exact symptom as neatly: invalid data would stop submission after it’s started, not prevent the click from submitting in the first place; a user not being assigned to a task or the process being in development are unrelated to whether the button is wired to submit the form.
