No autosaves occuring while actively editing a form

I have a test case form with 20 text fields and I have the autosave timeout
set to 5 seconds.

If I enter text into a field and tab to the next and enter text and so on
over a period of time much longer than 5 seconds no drafts get saved, I
don't get a draft saved until I pause typing and tabbing between fields for
longer than 5 seconds.

Is the expected behaviour?

In a customer's case where the autosave timeout is set to 60 seconds it is
quite possible for someone to be entering data into a reasonably complex
form for 10 minutes or more without any drafts being saved. This is not what
the user would expect. They will lose all their entered data if the system
goes down during that time.

This might be something we have configured wrong but I can't see what. (I
don't have incremental set on the form fields).

thanks

Hi Alex or Eric,
  I was wondering if you could comment on this and clarify when an autosave
occurs. Our observed behaviour is problematic as it requires the user to be
idle for a period of time before an autosave occurs.

thanks,
brian...

Hi Brian,

You're right, and this indeed isn't what I would expect either. Luckily, it
doesn't seem to be too hard to change this, however it needs to be done with
some care! So, for now, I've created the issue below, and am hoping that we
can fix this for 2019.1. And thank you for letting us know about this one!

Hi Alex,
  We have been discussing this internally and the conclusion is that we
really need to have this fixed as the current behaviour is a serious concern
to our customer. Our only workaround is to set the auto save timeout to a
quite low value (sub 10 seconds) and I have concerns about the impact this
might have on performance.

So, Is this likely to make it into the 2019.1 release and when are you
expecting this release to come out? There are quite a few things in the
upcoming release that we would like to use.

thanks,
brian...

Hi Brian,

This is now fixed and will be in 2019.1. Would you be able to upgrade, or
would you prefer to have this on a 2018.2.4? And of course, just let me know
if you'd like a test build to check that this works as expected.

Hi Jarek,

Makes sense: we cherry-picked the fix on the `2018.2-pe` branch, so it will
be included in the 2018.2.4 release.
