Earlier we have tried the same activity using single wizard page, it was working as expected.

https://www.ptc.com/cn/support/article/CS242901 , I tested your code, this article will fix the error, but the interface won't show anything, if you want to add custom steps when creating a document, I think you should modify the /netmarkets/jsp/document/create.jspf,this is just my personal suggestion, because I didn't come across a button that needs to create a custom document

Hi @Daniel_Ada

Your issue is connected with a component that you would like to show but it does not work.

Try @RG_10893406 suggestion based on the article

here is an example how to define it

<jca:initializeItem baseTypeName="wt.doc.WTDocument" operation="${createBean.create}" attributePopulatorClass="com.ptc.core.components.forms.DefaultAttributePopulator"/>

btw you can not define two same jsp steps.

first step should define different jspf then the seccond one create.jspf

so I guess there could be the issue, where one jsp tries to overwrite something in the second one.

Share the create.jspf and try to use own jspf page.
