Confirmation message before save

[filipegiusti]

Feature

When opening the edit page or when saving a resource, users should see a confirmation modal.

Current workarounds

I guess it could be achieve by manually replicating the default actions list and overriding the save button.

Screenshots or screen recordings

N/A.

Additional context

We would like the ability to ask for confirmation on saves depending on resource state because some of our resources have states that are low stakes (unpublished) and ones that are high stakes (published) and we would like to avoid human error on high stakes states.

Initially discussed this discord thread.

This would be a cool feature to have!

Approach

• add the confirm_before_create|update|save option to BaseResource
• create a Stimulus controller which gets attached in case the option is on
• the stimulus controller will first show a modal
• let's re-use the custom-confirm.js behavior to trigger the same modal. Some work will be required here to extract that functionality
• the modal should trigger a proper submit on the form

BTW, you can check out that thread here on the public chat archives.

I'm happy to have a look at this
