I’m trying to make a Yes/No form and I would like when they select yes and hit submit, to keep the state of the selection when the get back to the page. Any way to do this?

I am a developer for Cognito Forms. The Yes/No field has to have a default value by design. This is because the Checkbox and Toggle cannot be blank, they have to have a True or False value.
When the Yes/No field is required the “Yes” or “True” answer is always the required answer no matter what the default answer was set to. This has been designed this way so that when the field is displayed as a checkbox a user will have to check the box acknowledging that they have read the statement.
If you need to make a Yes/No value with radio buttons you can use the Choice Field and only have two options labeled “Yes” and “No”. Then you could make the Choice Field required and not specify a default value. Either value would then be acceptable as an answer.
You can now enable Save & Resume on your Cognito Forms, which allows users to easily save their work in progress and return at a later time to complete and submit their form.

This is similar to the question: Keep Cognito form on every page
I believe this previous answer addresses your question by using an event (in this case window unload) to save the state of the entry to local storage. It then uses support for script-based prefill in Cognito Forms to prepopulate the saved entry when the form loads the second time.
You could similarly subscribe to the click event on the submit button using JQuery if you want to limit the save to this specific event.
