[Resolved] Improve required field warning in backend

Hi,

I have required fields. The problem is, in the backend, it's easy to navigate away from the page with out filling them in.
The warning is not a browser pop-up box like it is in, say, "views" if you try to navigate away before saving.
See image.
Any way of fixing this?

Thanks.

No, because those are different things.

1. The navigate away warning is only happening when you made edits somewhere in an editor and did not save
2. The warning about putting something in the required area is happening only when you want to save that what you work on, but did not complete it.

So, the one excludes the other.

1. If its' possible to navigate away without a warning it means, no one edited something and hence, nothing needs to be checked (nothing is published.)
2. If it's not possible to navigate away it's because of an edit
3. As soon you save we check the requirements and block where needed.

That is how it's expected to work, the goal you try to achieve would require customization that we cannot provide.
Maybe, contractors can help:
