Add a 'save changes' dialog when closing the Fields and Domains views. Currently you can close them without saving your changes, and there is no other indication that you have fields/domains that are unsaved once you close.
Hey there. This dialog does exist for all of the data design views, are you not seeing this?
The views are all connected, so if you have Fields, Domains, and Contingent Values all open, this dialog won't come up as you close them until the last one is closed.
@wayfaringrob setting this to Needs Clarification given Jonathan's comment and the fact that the 'Unsaved Changed Found' dialog already exists for these views.
Can you provide more details about a situation where you are closing a view with changes and not seeing this dialog?
Thanks
@JonathanMurphyI see. I'm not exactly sure why I wasn't seeing it before but it is appearing now. It would be great if each individual view asked you as it's not clear when the box comes up what, exactly, it's asking to save changes to then. Further, I just closed a fields view (with pending changes) before closing a domains view (changes already saved); upon closing the domains view, the box did come up, but I'm stuck in a loop with it - clicking "yes" doesn't do anything, the box just comes back up.
I see a dialog every time I try to close a view with unsaved changes...
For others who have given this idea kudos, note that we have it set to Needs Clarification. @Marie_Ducharme @Bud @CynthiaGeskes can you review the discussion on this idea and let us know specifically how you get into a state where you are not seeing the 'Unsaved Changes Found' dialog?
Thank you!
Here's one scenario that comes to mind:
In Pro 2.6.8, if you click X to close Pro, it doesn't prompt you to save field changes or warn you that there are unsaved field changes. It only prompts you to save the project. It doesn't matter if you choose yes or no to save the project, the field changes won't be saved.
Not sure about newer versions.
The views are all connected, so if you have Fields, Domains, and Contingent Values all open, this dialog won't come up as you close them until the last one is closed.
Out of curiosity, why not open the dialog when the first unsaved tab is closed, rather than the last?

Agree @Bud
We're re-opening this idea with the following as the two main points:
1. Investigate the ability to display the save schema dialog when closing individual views rather than the last of a series of linked views.
2. Investigate the ability to display the save schema dialog when closing a project.
