I think when someone spends an hour filling out a form and that data is wiped out with one small mistake... there's a big problem.</p> <p>Here is an easy solution:</p> <p>entry_detail.php line ~396<br /> <pre><code>$update_button = &#39;&lt;input class=&quot;button-primary&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot; tabindex=&quot;4&quot; value=&quot;&#39; . $button_text . &#39;&quot; disabled name=&quot;save&quot; onclick=&quot;&#39; . $button_click . &#39;&quot;/&gt;&#39; ;</code></pre> <p>qtip_init.js line ~33<br /> <pre><code>jQuery(&quot;[name=&#39;save&#39;]&quot;).removeAttr(&#39;disabled&#39;);</code></pre> <p>that will disable the button until the page has finished loading </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/editing-entries-disable-update-button-until-form-finishes-loading#post-96233 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:56:03 +0000 Chris Hajer 96233@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for the suggestion.

This can take 30+ seconds to load. Sometimes the admin make a change and forget to wait until the entire form finishes loading. </p> <p>Big problem: data loss!</p> <p>If an admin saves the form too early, GF writes all the empty fields with empty data :(</p> <p>I think the easiest solution would be to disable the update button until the form is finished loading. </p>
