"Unsaved changes" message when saving, entering an account

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello, I'm having this issue again when I enter to any account, a little message appears telling me that the changes did not save even when it's a new account or no changes have been done.

Is there a way to remove that message?

Best regards,

    Have you got any business rules or form scripts on the form that are updating fields?

    Not that i'm aware of it. I just chacked and no, I don't have any scripts or business rules that updates the fields.

    you have some required field, but not in the form, then you will get this message

    like name field, it's not in the form, so value is empty,  when you save, crm won't allow to save.

    Is there a way I can see the name of that field?

    Thanks.

    Check your entity's attribute, different way you can find out, through sql

    SELECT distinct

    MetadataSchema.Attribute.PhysicalName

    FROM    MetadataSchema.Entity INNER JOIN

    MetadataSchema.Attribute ON   MetadataSchema.Entity.EntityId = MetadataSchema.Attribute.EntityId

    where MetadataSchema.Entity.Name = 'contact' and

    MetadataSchema.Attribute.AttributeRequiredLevelId in ('required','systemrequired')

    and MetadataSchema.Attribute.IsPKAttribute=0 and ISNULLable = 1 and XmlAbbreviation is null

    Field's that are not on the form are not required. The requirement level is only enforced on a form, and is ignored if your field is not there.

    In this screenshot the record clearly already exists so it must have been saved before without a problem.

    That message does not mean that the record *cannot* be saved, just that it has changes and has not yet been saved. This tells you that background save is now counting for 30 seconds before it tries to auto-save the record for you.

    Are you actually getting errors when you click the save button (disk icon)

    So we are having the same issue on the Appointment form.

    The CRM has Auto-Save turned off

    The user opens an existing appointment record and changes a custom field. But user can remain on this field, modifying it for many minutes.(notes)

    The user goes to click on "Save" on the top of the form and it appears that nothing happens

    So to ensure the changes are in, she see's "unsaved changes" at bottom right and tries to click "Save" next to it and it doesn't appear to do anything either.

    She moves off the record, isn't prompted to save changes and doesn't receive and errors

    Goes back into that appointment record and her notes are aren't there. it didn't save the changes.

    Frustrated she waits a day, does it over again and it works perfectly, no problems.

    Go to Administration -> System Setting-> Auto save= Yes. It will solve the purpose.

    Faced the same issue. Resolved by making Autosave=Yes
