Hello @Chief_Engineer,

This is the expected behaviour. If submissions are not saved, then saved submission data cannot be interpolated.

What’s the use case for disabling submission saving?

It seems like the wizard wouldn’t be able to actually do anything other than display static text to users since the field values also don’t seem to get passed on to wizard actions

Yes, disabling submission saving is a niche feature. It was added as a result of a request from a site admin who was quite concerned about data privacy. It is probably not what you’re after.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up
