Item10281: Action tracker edit can destroy parallel changes
Priority: Normal
Current State: Closed
Released In: n/a
Target Release: n/a
Data can be lost during an edit of an Action of the
ActionTrackerPlugin when the following happens
- User A Edits Action but does not save
- Enough time elapses that the lock on the edit expires
- User B edits the same action and saves
- User A Saves
What happens is the changes that User B made, are completely overwritten with no warning, unlike a normal edit sequence. In a normal topic edit, if the same sequence of events took place, the revision change would of been detected and a merge would of been performed.

I can confirm this, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it; it requires some major re-engineering of the plugin workflow.

Had a brainstorm, fixed it.
