How to turn off Auto save for particular entities

Posted on by Hosk

I want to turn off the auto save for certain entities, I can see the setting in the system settings but this turns it off for all entities.

Is there any risk to doing this, I have heard Microsoft do not recommend it.

    I think the reality is that you might as well embrace auto save. Think of all the other Microsoft applications that implement this in some fashion - Office saving your documents periodically is just one example.

    If you want to disable auto save on a subset of entities you'd need to implement some JavaScript on each entities OnSave event. If the Save Mode = 70 then cancel the save. 

    Something like:

    function OnSave(econtext) {
    if (econtext.getEventArgs().getSaveMode() === 70) {
        econtext.getEventArgs().preventDefault();
    }
}
