We're on BC2020 wave 1

In the web client
Open and item card (happens on every other card I tried)
Change the description (seems to behave same on most fields, except primary key fields)
In top right of Item card the message says "Saving...", "Saved"
Refresh (or close browser tab)
Old description is back.

Nothing ever changed in the database, even though the UI in top right of item card says saving...saved.

Worse, I'm looking at a screen that says saved, another user can open the record and they still see the old value.

*Only* when I exit edit mode (click pencil icon or go back to list) are the changes committed to the DB.

This seems like a huge bug to me and is going to cause data loss: A user gets a message saying saved, and the data is not saved. They sit there for 10 mins and the client times out (where do i turn this off?). They just lost all their changes and will probably never know

I'm actually glad it works like this as we have some kind of "undo/abort changes" and it works like virtually all other software: open a record, edit it, save or cancel, but what's *fundamentally wrong* (IMHO) is a UI that says data is saved when it hasn't been committed

Wrong solution to this requirement ... firing the on modify trigger every time can have disastrous implication for any synchronous or asynchronous triggers, web hooks, web service integrations, etc...
