• Issue saving a JournalEntry.

    By Dave Leigh 2 decades ago

    Actually, this one's more of a "design feature", but it can be annoying for users, so I'm fixing it.



    What happens is that if you don't press click Save, but go straight to Close, then the document's not saved even if you tell it to when the prompt comes up.



    I describe the cause of this in the Discussion post,

    Inserting Into RichText. The main issue is that these documents are created in a deleted state. The Save button then changes that explicitly. This was so we could get a proper handle on the RichText. But the two buttons, Save and Close, set certain expectations for the user (i.e., Close will display a prompt, so Save is redundant. The user clicks close, answers the prompt, and promptly loses his work).



    In any case, I'm replacing these two buttons with a single one, "Save & Close" and the problem is fixed for the next release. The save prompt will work as you expect. In the meantime, always click "Save" before clicking "Close".
