Autosave issue fields

Feature Discussion
1

I’d like to propose a quality of life feature - autosave text fields in the task edit view. Currently the save happens when I click save, so if I refresh the page or go back by accident whatever I wrote is lost.
I propose one of:

  • save the changes locally in browser so they survive a page refresh
  • raise a warning when navigating in edit mode
  • change the behaviour to save on edit instead of save on clicking Save (maybe this could be a user level setting?)

For comparison Jira has a similar thing, for example here

Edit: If I missed existing issues about this topic I’m sorry, I couldn’t think of synonyms to “autosave” :slight_smile:

Welcome! :waving_hand:

There is an autosaving feature already, but with a few seconds delay. I guess we could extend this to save directly when navigating away from the task.

Oh yeah, it is there, cool! Though, I think a few seconds don’t work in my use case (accidental navigation). Also one more suggestion - some kind of visual feedback on save would be nice :slight_smile:
