Create Issue flow should never lose data

Open jackfranklin opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I just spent a fair amount of time writing a new issue up in the New issue view (NewIssue.md). Rather than click the tick I mistakenly saved and closed the window.

I now cannot find the issue that I wrote; I'm not sure if it even exists any more. If I try to create a new issue it now gives me a blank issue. I tried reopening the closed editor or cmd-z-ing my way back, but that didn't work unfortunately.

Are these issues saved anywhere? And if not, it would be great if there was a way to save them as drafts to avoid accidental lose of work.

Thanks!

I lose about 50% of the issues I write due to muscle-memory close-saving it. I love writing issues in the editor but I'm desperate for a way to stop losing them :(

Will investigate for August.

New behavior will be:

  • If you close a new issue without creating an issue, the contents will be cached.
  • When you start to create a new issue, the cached content will be used.
  • The cache is cleared when you open the workspace/reload the window.
  • The cache is maintained per workspace.
