Compact UI submit button is slow and does not disable itself on click, making it possible to create duplicate media

Created on 19 January 2022, about 3 years ago

Updated 10 January 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

It is easy for editors to accidentally create duplicate media entities using the Bynder compact UI. The "Add asset" button is slow to respond and does not disable itself when the user clicks, so editors can be confused into thinking they need to click it again, while things are working in the background. This results in multiple Bynder entities being created for the same asset.

Steps to reproduce

Select an asset with the Compact UI, click the "Add asset" button, confirm the button shows an ajax load, but then goes back to "Add asset" and is clickable again before the browser submits.

Proposed resolution

Disable the "Add asset" button until the form is complete.

This is even more problematic when DAT is enabled. @berdir could you expand on the async/setTimeout idea or any others you might have?

Discussed with @berdir to try with hiding the compact view entirely and replace it with `Uploading assets...`

The first file attached, showing the status, didn't seem to work. Trying with a link to google drive.

Additional note: I use throttling so it's more obvious. That's why it's so slow.
