@ZornHadNoChoice i see the issue now. Expected behaviour is that it should show a confirmation dialogue box to save the changes . Right? kindly clarify if i have been mistaken .

[ZornHadNoChoice]

Yes. It should look like this:

[sidharth6761]

@david-allison i dont understand this is already there in the codebase when we navigate back from the editor , the confirmation box pops up but the application in playstore doesnt do so . Is the app not updated in the playstore? I went through the repo and everything seems fine . Please confirm

Hi, could I be assigned this issue?

Hi, we're saving this one for a research study, so it shouldn't be worked on

Ah ok, I had actually just added a line to the code which fixed the issue of the dialog box not showing up when a user does a deck override and tries to exit without saving it. As far as I saw in the newest version, the app just lets you exit the edit screen after doing the override but after that change the dialog box does show up. Should I post that change?

[david-allison]

With apologies, please don't.

This one is my responsibility, and I profusely apologize for the overight.

We were contacted by a researcher from Stanford in late October regarding a study, and they requested a number of issues to be tagged for evaluation.

I didn't get around to marking these issues as 'assigned'
