[Bug] show view delete button keep entry open after deletion.

[ghost]

Bug report

What I did

1. List view: click Preview link in actions column
2. Preview view: click the delete link at bottom of the fields

What I expected to happen

I expect the system to delete the row from the DB. Then redirect back to the List view.

What happened

It deleted the row from the DB. but did NOT redirect. So, now I'm sitting on a deleted view. If you refresh you get a 404

What I've already tried to fix it

Hello @rhdevelopmentorg thanks for the report.

I bumped into this sometime ago, and by that time this is what me and @tabacitu discussed https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/pull/3780

I still think the current behavior is not natural, you delete the entry and keep seeing it ? weirdo.

@tabacitu do you still think the behavior is somewhat expected ? I think this is a bad experience, maybe I am wrong, dunno! Atleast now we are two persons wrong, me and @rhdevelopmentorg 🙃

Let me know what present @tabacitu thinks about this!

Cheers

One thing I would like to add that I didn't remember last time:

• the alert is timed, it means that if you look to the side and then back to computer, you might miss the notification.

Maybe there is nothing to change in behavior, but atleast we could disable the buttons and show a red message with: This entry has been deleted. ?

Cheers

I think maybe we are actually now at two "NOT weirdos"!

I agree, I it's wonky. It offended my sensibilities! haha... I don't think I've ever been on a website, or software for that matter, that didn't redirect to the the list view after deleting an entry.

Maybe gather consensus via a single question poll?

All that said, it is a really slight bug. You guys do a great job on this application and I'm sure you're looking at much bigger issues.

Yeah... we should probably do something about this. But let's do it in v6 - the behaviour changes, so it's "kind of" a breaking change. I've tagged this appropriately, and moved to the v6 project.

Thanks @rhdevelopmentorg !
