When creating a new node (with the title field in step 1 as recommended) if a user clicks on the step 1 link in the menu block before having progressed through any other steps a page not found error is returned. Hitting the browser back button then redirects the user to the modules list.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Amendment to the above.

This is the link that is unresolved when using the wizard mode of multistep and clicking on the 1st link in menu block.

/node/add/edit/1#multistep-group_details

Pressing back button after page not found returns to node form as expected. Previous report of unusual redirect was caused by browser (Chrome not updating urls!?)

Thanks again.

Recommend disabling the link in menu block if node has not yet been submitted, i.e. user has not progressed form beyond 1st step and is using the wizard.

Partially solved this problem. Including another fieldgroup in the 1st step produces the problematic link, whereas leaving only ungrouped fields in the 1st step eliminates this issue.

I can't seem to reproduce this.

Title: Unusual block link behaviour » Multistep menu block linking to step 1 before the node exists.

Thanks for the report. The difference in the logic was subtle, but now the first menu item won't have a link until the node is created. This only affects the Wizard mode. It's fixed in the new development snapshot.
