IRRE uses page reload instead element reload

FormEngine aka TCEforms
Description
If a record you're adding has a type field, changing the type forces a reload of the element (i.e. an IRRE tt_content/text record and you're changing it to a text with image record). As the whole page is reloaded and not only the element, all IRRE elements are collapsed after the reload. So you loose the context you've been working in. This is a usability weakness that can be quite annoying when you have a lot of records, i.e. in a big Powermail form.

- Target version deleted (
0)
This is definitely an annoying behaviour.
There is a workaround for the moment: if you're inserting records (say a dozen new form fields in Powermail) you can answer the "Would you like to save now in order to refresh the display" dialog with "Cancel", so you can go on inserting fields, and in a second roundup fill in all the details for each record after having saved.
- Category set to 978
- Is Regression set to No
- Target version set to 7.4 (Backend)
- Complexity set to nightmare
just saying:
We know about this, but this requires rewriting FormEngine, which is 50% of TYPO3 :)
- Target version changed from 7.4 (Backend) to 7.5
- Target version deleted (
7.5)
- Status changed from New to Closed
This issue is solved in at least v10, all IRRE record preserve their according state on reload.
i cannot confirm, that the behaviour is solved in v10.4.latest - IRRE childs in a content-element field get lost, if an reload-event occurs in the IRRE child and the parent record is not saved.
