    @Yenthe666 As stated, this is a POC that we plan on using to see what's painful/what's not. At the moment: - autosave will not trigger on each field edition (validation nightmare) - we will keep a save/discard button for poweruser, but less visible (e.g. small icon next to the record name)

      @Yenthe666 - new records will need a first 'manual' save (otherwise too easy to pollute the db) - we are considering a timer-based auto-save (not sure yet)

        @Yenthe666 The rationale is that the current 'halfway' status where you switch to edit on click is annoying, but a lot of times you want to switch to edit mode easily. So we stop having 2 different modes and just have an edit mode that displays 'like a readonly' in a lot of cases.

          @Yenthe666 You can still discard, and at the moment we only want to save when you leave the record (like in v15) or when you trigger a manual save (like in v15). Timing-based autosave under consideration, though I'm not esp. for it.

            @Yenthe666 We don't want an undo/redo, since most times you'll want to undo something with side-effects (e.g. 'confirm', 'post' actions, etc.) - which can't be undone like this. There's still ctrl+z for e.g. text/html fields, etc. and a discard button so no real change here.
