ENH: Add "Unsaved Data" warning message

Friday, January 13, 2012 7:24:13 PM

For sake of discussion, I'll describe as pertains to Test Cases:
- The "Save" button in the header only pertains to the TC-level metadata
- Individual steps are saved using their step-level "Update" button

It's not an uncommon usability gripe for my users to be actively entering data in a particular Test Step, then move to modify the TC-level metadata without first hitting "update" on the step, and click "Save" on the Test Case. This order of operations results in the step-level changes to be discarded. I'd like to see more graceful handing along the lines of "Unsaved Data on this page - do you really want to leave?" to prevent unnecessary loss of unsaved data-entry work.

This is something that we've come across too and often results in loss of work

This will be addressed in our v4.0 release as part of an update the entire page saving infrastructure.
