I think it would be nice to have three options:
- "Submit": making the draft entry a "real" entry, with an ID
- "Abort": keeping the entry as a draft entry as it currently is (or was 10 sec ago)
- "Delete": removing the draft entry.
I understand that the draft is overwritten currently by the "Back" button, but why does it get an ID and does not stay as a "Draft"?
As a quick fix you may skip the "Abort" for now and just provide "Submit" and "Delete". |
