i have solved it by doing a post redirect to a second action
which shows the more complex form.   any required fields except
the submit button are filled.  the user can inspect all fields
and maybe fill (not required) some extra fields.

there is one thing:  i would like to suppress the error on the
required submit button 'This field is required' (in german more
bad 'Feld muss ausgefüllt sein', because cant fill a button)

i think default submit should be required and no error message
if not present.

is there submit config option to suppress the error message?

thanks,
