Unsaved changes lost despite clicking Cancel when navigating between Input Forms?

Hi all,

If I enter data in an Input Form without saving and then navigate to another Input Form workflow step, the "The selected item has not been saved" warning message is displayed. However, Cancel does not prevent navigation and the unsaved changes are lost.

I've tested several other navigation scenarios (changing period, scenario, entity, navigating to dashboards, cube views, or non-Input Form workflow steps) and in those cases Cancel behaves as expected and preserves the unsaved data.

The issue seems to occur only when moving from one Input Form workflow step to another.

Any ideas on how to prevent unsaved changes from being lost if a user forgets to click Save before leaving the Input Form?

    What version of OneStream are you currently using?  I attempted to reproduce this in version 9.3.0 and am not able to replicate.  I went to a workflow that has two optional input forms, I enter a number into one of the forms and then attempt to navigate to the other form and receive the dialog.  I click on Cancel and I am returned to the form where I input the number without saving.

      We are currently running version 9.2.0.18004.

      Just to clarify, I am not navigating between two Input Forms within the same workflow step. The behavior occurs when navigating from one Input Form workflow step/profile to another Input Form workflow step/profile in the workflow hierarchy.

      In that scenario, clicking Cancel on the warning dialog does not prevent the navigation and the unsaved changes are lost.

      Would you be able to test that specific scenario on your side and let me know if you observe the same behavior please?
