Support autosave in Form Builder #1169

Open avernet opened 11 years ago

avernet commented 11 years ago

Difficulties:

[ ] When we detect a change in fb-form-instance we need to de-annotate before saving the draft (and we shouldn't be watching changes in fr-form-instance).
[ ] When we load the form only after prompting users, we need to run FB's code that would otherwise not run.
[ ] Don't close label/hint editor if autosave happens while the editor is open.

FYI we already watch for changes in fb-form-instance in persistence-model.xml, then dispatch maybe-autosave. That runs oxf.fr.detail.process.autosave which does a save(draft = "true").

This said, #1816 calls from removing fb-form-instance entirely. So do that first, so that point 1 above is taken care of. Not sure what point 2 means.
