form_alter

I was tasked with breaking the user registration form of a Drupal 8 installation into a multi-step form. This was necessary because depending on what a user selected in step one, they were shown different form fields in step two. To begin, I added all of the fields I needed to the user profile using the GUI. (/admin/config/people/accounts/fields). Then, I added the fields I needed to the manage form display/register tab (/admin/config/people/accounts/form-display/register). This gave me a working, one page registration form.

I needed to redirect the user register form based on a role that the user wanted to apply for.

Today I needed to add the html character "»" to a Drupal 7 form value. The first thing I did was alter the form and add the » character to the end of the submit button's value.
