One of the main reasons for splitting a form up is to enable users to complete the form over time. This would require being able to bypass validation for required fields and have some sort of save unpublished /publish logic.
Luckily, there's already the http://drupal.org/project/save_draft module that handles most of this. However, msnf doesn't play nice with it. This feature request is to propose to fix that integration. I'm hoping to get to submit a patch at some point.

Yuri CreditAttribution: Yuri commentedThis would be a goods solution, if you have two entity reference fields of which the second one depends on the choice of the first one.
When the second entity reference field is on the second step and the save draft is performed automatically at each step, the second entity reference field can read additional data that was not available in the first step.
A use case is organic groups and categories in a group:
If I create and article, I can select a group audience (ERfield1), and in another field the article category (ERfield2), which should list the categories in that specific group. In the second step, the ERfield2 gets the group audience data and display a select box with group categories.

rooby CreditAttribution: rooby commentedIt might be worth explaining the line "However, msnf doesn't play nice with it".
Can you specify what the problems are with using both the modules?
Comment #5
rooby CreditAttribution: rooby commentedAlso, why is this postponed?
Is it being blocked by something else or just isn't for right now for some reason?

rooby CreditAttribution: rooby commentedSave draft (latest dev) and this module are working together for me.
I can save drafts on a multi step node form.
There have been a few fixes to save draft since this issue was opened so I'm not sure if they have addressed all the concerns from this issue or not.
