Problem description

If a user starts filling a form with audit and tracking changes and minimizes it and goes back to filling the same page(without swiping to next page) and changes the answers, there is a difference between answers visible in "View Sent Form” and audit.csv file. The changed answers are not in audit.csv file. If the submission is viewed on Central or via Enketo all the answers are visible.

For forms with track-changes-reason (like in the steps below), the user is able to bypass the change reason prompt with this flow.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Go to Track Changes Reason form. track-changes-reason-on-edit.xml.txt
2. Start filling the form.
3. Minimize the form while on page with "What’s up?” question.
4. Go back to the form and don’t swipe to the previous/following page.
5. Add something to the answer on the page which was opened after going back to the form.
6. Finalize and exit the form (noticing you're not prompted for a change reason).
7. Go to audit log and go to "View Sent Form” and compare the final answers.

Expected behavior

The answers added in step 5 should be visible in audit log.

Other information

If the user clicks next and then back, the changed answers will be in audit log. I haven’t checked earlier versions than v2022.3.0 If don't keep activities is on, all the answers are in the audit log.

@dbemke could you check v2022.2 as well please?

[dbemke]

@seadowg I've just checked v2022.2.0 and the answer added in step 5 is present in audit.csv file so the issue isn't present in v2022.2.0

Agreed that this is serious.
