Andreas,
Doesn't using the Save Drafts = 0 option result in the old 'Back' button returning (replacing the Delete option) meaning
you can revert back to your old (unmodified) version without saving, sure it doesn't save a draft but I'd rather be able to return back and lose |

Yes, "Save Drafts = 0" does the trick. But it is the "zero-option": trivial, but not satisfying ;-)
Warning: the "back" button of the browser has a very undesired effect: the entry
is then converted into a draft and not shown anymore in list view! |

Well, the "undesired effect" you describe is exactly the reason for having drafts. Somebody works on a lengthy message, then the browser dies,
or the user by accident hits the "back" button and (by accidnt, ehem...) confirms the dialog popping up which says "changes will be lost".
In that case the draft mechanism should take care of that the lengthy message is not lost. That's where it is for. If one does not like it, one can |

In my opinion, there should be a "close/return" button (discard changes), even with the drafts enabled, but effectively there will
have to be several saves made (at least before/after). |

Hi Stefan,
actually what you refer to as the "quick and dirty" solution is probably the only feasible one: to store a copy
of the entry in the browser and restore that copy with a "cancel" button.
Otherwise you would need a full-fledged revision management,
to deal with multiple copies of the same entry open in several browsers.
Yet, that does not solve the "problem" |

This solved the problems, thanks for the fast response!
On a side note, one would expect that when "Fixed Attributes Edit" or "Fixed Attributes
