    We make use of the setting of Status Reason via form/step Metadata records all the time to keep things draft until the user submits - try it.

    @Fubar what if the user is on the final step and still didnt submit the form then the status reason will change right? I want to change any status reason only when the user hits submit button.

    Multistep forms save data when you next/previous or submit at the end - There is no way to stop this (other if the scenario in the paragraph following this one applies). The workaround is to set the Status Reason of the record using metadata (set in the Power Pages Management App on the Basic Form or Step in question), e.g. when the record is created set it to Draft, on the last/submit Step set it to Submitted. 
     
    There is one type of a multistep form that only saves on the final submit, but it only works for those scenarios where everything is on the same table, and you do not have logic that skips steps etc, and that is when you define 1 Step and you then tick the Auto Generate Steps From Tabs option on the Steps form definition. Note: for this type of multistep, you only define 1 step, and you cannot add additional steps (you only can use what is auto generated).
