Please cache project creation progress #616

Closed subwaystation closed 2 months ago

subwaystation commented 3 months ago

When I am in the middle of creating a project and I accidentally press ESC, I have to restart the whole process again. None of my information already entered is saved.

Dear @subwaystation ,

can you explain, what has lead to the accidental ESC button interaction? The ESC is default behaviour to escape any current action, so we assume users want to abort.

subwaystation commented 3 months ago

I agree that I want to abort the current window (aka creating a new project), but in my flow at the time of testing, I was hoping I could continue at this state.

alternatively, you could provide a button: continue project (for the last unfinished one)

sven1103 commented 3 months ago

Dear @subwaystation,

can you elaborate, why you left the registration process and wanted to continue later? Have you been unsure about the experimental setup?

We would like to understand your workflow better, to see if that is an important use case.

The accidental ESC action can be addressed by the implementation of an additional confirmation modal.

github-actions[bot] commented 2 months ago

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.

sven1103 commented 2 months ago

We track down the abort confirmation modal, but are currently not planning to implement a project creation cache. The creation of a project is quick once you have the required information.
