Hello,
I want to collect responses from my html form to be saved into an output file (txt).
When I test the code below in the preview state it does exactly what I want it to do. When I click on save data to file button I get a pop-up asking me to open or save as (the txt file).
When I published the form in confluence. The save data to file button does not do anything. Please help.
Please see test code used below
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
