Store the user input from the first form in <input type="hidden"> in the second form. If there are are file inputs, then you'll need to store the file on the server and include some kind of reference (like a unique id or a URL) in the input.

Alternatively, you could use a session (but that risks a race condition if the user fills in two copies of the form at the same time across multiple tabs in their browser).

Alternatively, you could store the data in its final destination (e.g. a database table) with a flag on it marking it as a draft. Then update it with the rest of the data and remove the flag when the second form is submitted.
