This plugin tries to answer issue #2910 : warning on leaving edited issue page without saving or save issue as draft

Redmine Drafts Plugin

This plugin is an answer to issue #2910 : if you accidentally leave an issue while editing it, and if it's very large, it can drive you crazy to lose everything you typed before. There can be at least 2 approaches to avoid losing data this way :

• forbid leaving the page with a javascript warning
• saving drafts periodically so you can find and restore it when you're back on the issue page : this is the method this plugin tries to implement

Install
