I don't quite get what you mean by "moving between forms" but here is
some suggestions:

403. Request made sense, but your current state does not allow this. You
need to take these actions first.

Or if not that then 409 is also a good candidate. Request made sense but
current server resource state conflicts with the expected state for the
request.
