Does the community portal allow you to save your post to a draft?

If it doesn’t, is this something we can add 😀 I tend to leave my tab for one thing or another and I’ve closed my browser not realizing i finished a post so wanted to ask in case, i can go back and find my unposted post.

Hey everyone - This is part of the Gainsight platform so nothing internal to Acumatica. The short answer is “no” but below is the ERQ for it on Gainsight Community. I wouldn’t look for this quickly as it’s been open for 6 years. I added a comment and vote.

There's no option available to save a topic draft either online or with 'download as' function. Setting up a new topic takes quite some time so it's understandable someone might want to take a break, is unable to continue due to meetings or just wants to sleep on it before the final check.

Semi-offtopic: Just lost a big part of a post due to (I think) a random temporary disconnect. Whatever the case, losing your work for no apparent reason is by far the biggest demotivation. If we want to create an active and engaging TW community, I think it's extremely important to make sure no user is held back or demotivated by losing their draft.

Hi ​@iqraharrison 

No, it does not. I’ve lost many posts this way. It would be a good idea to submit to be able to save them as a draft of some sort though.

@Kandy Beatty thanks kandy! that’s what i figured!

 

@Chris Hackett is this something that would be beneficial on the ideas forum or is that more geared towards the acumatica platform?
