One submit action is visible only in New form that invokes the “Generate Contract ID” custom action that generates the Contract ID. Second Submit action is visible only in edit form. Delete these two submit action and show standard “Save” button by following below instructions.
Go to Contracts list -> List Settings -> Crow Canyon NITRO forms -> Delete both “Save” submit action buttons on the form.
