I am using a custom tab template. I tried copying and moving the following in default.php, but I could not get a second save button to show up.

<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('buttons');
?>

Fabrik 3.1.1
J! 3.3.1
 
By right that should work, it's hard to see though without seeing the full code. Do you have any errors?
 
Here is the default.php code as it stands. It is basically copy of the bootstrap_tabs.

PHP: 
<?php

the save button is loaded with

echo $this->loadTemplate('actions');

the buttons one is for things like print:export to pdf etc
 
Thanks, Rob. Based on your clarification, I was able to get what I needed with this (the inserted div is in red font):

I tested here and two submit buttons are possible. Are both buttons inside the form? does the template create valid html? Do you get any JS errors on the page
