🐛 Bug: Need to click on "Cancel" after saving in order to close record editor

[djmaze]

Please confirm if bug report does NOT exists already ?

• I confirm there is no existing issue for this

Steps to reproduce ?

1. Open the editor modal for a record
2. Change any field
3. Click on "Save row" in order to save your changes
4. Click on "Cancel" in order to close the editor modal

Desired Behavior

In my opinion, the UX is quite bad and unintuitive.

1. When the row is saved, the modal should close immediately. That's what I would expect as a user.
2. Clicking "Cancel" after saving in order to close the modal feels wrong. I know you can also click outside of the modal in order to close it, but that is also not very intuitive to me. If you want the user to be explicit about closing the modal, there should be an "X" or "Close" button in the modal instead.

In my opinion the current behaviour is so unintuitive that I call this a bug.

The current expanded form doesn't save the data automatically. If there are lots of fields, users may need to click save row from time to time so that the data won't be lost (like accidentally click outside the modal) rather than saving the whole form in one go.

However, I do agree it's a bit tedious if I only update a field and click 2 buttons to save and leave the modal. We'll have some internal discussions first on this matter. Thanks for reporting.
