Using the API for some special needs

Hi,

We are building a form with some special requirements and are hitting roadblock after roadblock trying to build it, meeting all requirements of the customer

1. We’re looking to save automatically when they’re filling in the form
We’ve been playing with the partial entry add on and the save and continue.
But neither provide a useable solution (for our needs)

With the partial entry’s we often have doubles as they are saved and when they finalize the form is creates a new entry.
With the save and continue the partial entry isn’t saved at all in the backend and only accessible with an url.

2. We would like to show the entry’s of a certain user in the frontend. We’re using Gravity view.
We’re also using a add on for revisions and they should see the revisions (link) in a drop down. in the gravity view
Screenshot example

2.B
Atm when editing an entry you get a view of the form that is (for us) completely broken… There is no pagination, everything is on 1 HUuuuge page

3. We would need to pass some statusses of the form being filled through the pages (multi step form)
Like each page should show if it’s not, partly or completely filled in.
And there are some symbols that should be shown in the navigation when a checkbox has a certain value.

I got the values of the field and satus of the page, programatically in php on each page but can’t seem to figure out with the api how to pass those values through the pages and to the front-end to create the visual part.

Example of status of filles fields

Example of symbol based on the checkbox value (positive / negative)
