FormIt - validation refresh removes URL query string

I am passing a field value to my FormIt form using a query string
```
http://www.site.com/form?id=x
```
This displays some options for download.

Trouble is, if the form is not completed fully, it refreshes to show the error messages but returns to the base url
```
http://www.site.com/form
```
thus breaking my query string and the download options disappear.

Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks!

Solved this. Instead of using
```
<form action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post">
```
, i’ve used
```
<form action="[[~[[*id]]]]?id=[[!urlsnipID]]" method="post">
```
to keep the id=x in the URL string.

The urlsnipID snippet simply extracts the id=x from the original URL query string.
