Save/Cancel button when editing a record

When editing a record, clearing a field or linked record is done in a millisecond. I am afraid users might do this by mistake, it happend to me when testing the system several times.

There is no Undo function, and I can understand why. It would mean you’d have to have a method to rollback and commit changed data. If two users can have their fingers on the same record at the same time, you need a complex method to make sure the data stays correct.

There is a way to fix this. Introduce a SAVE and CANCEL button in the (old and new) record experience screens. Just like it is with automations. You can’t leave the screen without saving or cancelling. And if it would have a short cut key like CTRL+Enter, it isn’t slowing down the user.

I agree with this concern. It’s easy to accidentally clear a field or linked record, and the change happens immediately. While an Undo feature may be difficult to implement in a multi-user environment, having Save and Cancel buttons would be a helpful alternative. It would give users a chance to review their changes before they are applied and reduce the risk of accidental data loss.
