Implement Autosave

Problem/Motivation

After the discussion on the Directional Feedback for the Next-Gen Admin UI 📌 Directional Feedback for the Next-Gen Admin UI Active some key steps were detected and listed by @eaton . One of them was having the Autosave of in-progress content, a long-running wishlist item for core.

This functionality though, needs a previous step to consider that would make it much simpler: to enforce validation per Workflow state. Content validation occurs on form submission and is enforced regardless of the workflow state of the content. This makes it impossible to save in-progress "drafts" if there are validation rules meant to prevent incomplete content from being published.

  • Needs framework manager review

    It is used to alert the framework manager core committer(s) that an issue significantly impacts (or has the potential to impact) multiple subsystems or represents a significant change or addition in architecture or public APIs, and their signoff is needed (see the governance policy draft for more information). If an issue significantly impacts only one subsystem, use Needs subsystem maintainer review instead, and make sure the issue component is set to the correct subsystem.

  • Needs product manager review

    It is used to alert the product manager core committer(s) that an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the "user experience" of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. If an issue significantly affects the usability of Drupal, use Needs usability review instead (see the governance policy draft for more information).

  • Needs issue summary update

    Issue summaries save everyone time if they are kept up-to-date. See Update issue summary task instructions.
