Hi Kester,
yes, I did run into the same problem, that I could not even delete old drafts due to our restrict edit time.
We allow anonymous submissions in our operation logbooks. After a while drafts of unsubmitted messages just pile up; and I need to remove them as administrator.
While I can do that easily for anonymous drafts, I cannot do that for drafts of other users: I don't easily see those drafts.
It would be really nice, if drafts would be handled different then other entries regarding "Restrict edit time" as you've suggested.
Cheers, Andreas

Hello,

When using restrict edit time together with autosave, there is the following problem: The counter for restrict edit time seems to start after the autosave. If the time is up, it is no longer possible to submit the report.
It is also not possble to edit old drafts if restrict edit has elapsed since the creation of the save.
Autosave is definitively a nice new feature. However, I think it would be better if the counter for restrict edit time only started after the "submit" of the report and allowed edits to drafts no matter how old they are. As it is one needs to either set a really high value for restrict edit time or turn off autosave.
The issue seems to be related to: https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68103
