RD/GD/BD Forms Difficult to Understand/Use (243) #35

Open andyg54321 opened 5 years ago

A. Beta test feedback states that the OK-checkmark and Cancel-X buttons on the RD/GD/BD in-line edit are confusing. Would it be possible to remove the buttons and always save data (always do the OK action) when the focus is lost (user clicks outside edit box)? Let's discuss.

B. Edit mode does not highlight everything that is editable. Maybe continue highlight. Maybe have pencil for each section. Let's discuss.

C. Mouse-over on form elements is not consistent. Sometimes I-beam, sometimes link-hand-pointer.

Regarding point A. I suspect that onblur is going to have some issues around setting the location and possibly other areas. It would be acceptable (and perhaps better) to have one set of save/cancel buttons for the entire edit operation (across all fields). In this scenario the user would edit various things and then choose to save all the changes or discard all the changes for that edit mode. This would probably require a temporary DB entry to store all the changes. This temporary entry would then be set as or copied to the real entry on save, and discarded on cancel.

Just something to consider in case it is any easier.
