thanks, I think the problem lies within current_form.
in my template I have

[% multiform.current_form_number %]

which gives "1" for the initial request, after the first submit, it  
stays at "1" but shows form #2, if I submit there, it shows the form  
#2 (which fails with constraints), but then the current_form_number  
shows "2"

adding indicators to the forms makes the data for form 2 appear after  
a second submit (although the constraints then are not checked, but  
form #3 is initally showed with failed constraints)

how do I name the indicators correctly?

regarding fill_formfu_values -> I use still the deprecated  
DBIx::Class::HTML::FormFu (which has this method), but even doing  
manually populating results in the above behaviour

so how do I get current_form_number to "increment" correctly?

thanks
