Take a look at databaseManager.rollbackEditedRecords() (Best used when autosave is set to false). ---

Joas, I know this is an old thread. Does the rollback not work when autosave is on? In my tests here, it appears to work even if autosave is on. I can click away from one field, so that autosave should engage to save the record. But when I cancel, the record returns to the pre-edit state. Thank you, Don ---

if you don’t click outside the fields on a form it works!. if yout click outside a field on a form (the data will be saved!!) after that, servoy can’t rollback. So to be save, autosave, should be OFF. ---

Hi Harjo, I have tried clicking outside the field, into another field, even away from the browser window. If I press “Cancel” it doesn’t save the changes, even though autosave is on. Is it possible this is a difference in behavior between the web client and the Smart Client? Thank you, Don ![Tracking.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/servoy/original/2X/7/7fa71770e9715ee3c9339898bb97cc531076f3f2.png) ---

ahh, I was talking about smart-client. I think, in webclient it will auto-save, when you navigate away to a different form. (clicking outside a field on the form, does’nt do anything, I believe in webclient) ---

Hi Harjo, This autosave setting is affecting my validation scheme, where missing items appear in a tab-panel list at lower left, on the data entry form (see picture). I can create the validation records without saving, as long as the list uses a relation. But when I try to sort them, the console complains about not being able to sort a foundset with edited records. Is there a work-around? Also, can someone from Servoy confirm that the web client works this way (no updates until posting the form)? Thank you, Don Servoy 6.0.6/1232 ![DataEntry_2.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/servoy/original/2X/2/2927558e9eb8f40abf714c22d2763c3f34597d7d.png) ![DataEntry_1.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex010/uploads/servoy/original/2X/2/28ba0925d035adcd8313c67eaa1c246683a078c7.png)
