i looked at this suggested answer, its very close but not exactly what i am looking for.
My issue is I do need to make a backend call in login controller , get the applicantsinfoRecord, obtain the sessionId from it and then transition over to the next form-edit page, where i will make another call to the back-end based on the sessionId to pull the customer profile. Just mentioning this detail, so that my question does not get flagged as a duplicate to the above mentioned post.
