What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

 

For context go to :: Your Dashboard > World Settings > Configuration

 

Everytime you save your edits on the world configuration page it refreshes the page bumping you over to the starting tab on the configuration menu of the world settings. I assume this behavior is in other places as well on WA. This should work like any other article save where auto save as you go is the norm and should not refresh the page if possible.

 

How does this feature request address the current situation?

 

It's annoying to have the save/refresh kick me out of a tab that I was working on and having to click back to it if I wanna continue to edit after making some changes and seeing them live. It's a poor experience to provide a UI feature in one spot but not across the board for similar spaces inside your UI.

   

What are other uses for this feature request?

 

Auto Saving is already in the UI of articles, across all the tabs articles have, and this feature should available be across the board for a consistent user expereince in all other related spaces of WA where text field input like an article on the dashboard exist.

The Team's Response

Accepted as an investigation task not to be completed
  This will most certainl be implemented at some point soon, but the same is true for every single section. The chances are that world configuration will take precedence over others but this suggestion did not reach enough support to be accepted.   I will have a look and if the changes required are quick I will action it.
