Asset Builder Page - Metadata disappears

Squiz Matrix General Discussion
1

I wanna create Standard Page with many metadata fields.
This is done via Asset Builder Pages by Simple Edit Users.



Everything works quite well, but if there is a mistake in a form and User click "Submit" - the whole user input on metadata section is replaced with empty fields :frowning:



Is there any way to make metadata not disappearing?

Sadly, this is not really a bug, just a feature that has not been added. I put in a feature request for this a long time ago, but it has never made it into Matrix. :frowning:

Thanks Nic,



Last days I invented a way to do this - by using Custom Form with Confirmation Page.

Then replacing Confirmation Page content with Asset Builder Content and catch the entry from Custom Form by %question_answer…% keywords - it works but I don't like this solution.



There is more work on it and it is hard to apply changes (any changes on metadata or Asset Builder).

Many thanks Duncan,

Autosave works and that's a great solution :slight_smile:
