Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
When I'm editing a configuration file, I might make a change to the settings and navigate away before hitting "update". It would be nice if I got some kind of a warning when that happens.
If I edit settings for one resource settings and go to modify another one, my changes are lost when I come back.
Maybe there should be an indication that changes are pending in the UI view (as opposed to the code view) that I have pending "unsaved [Updated]" changes.
I'd also like to be able to "clear" my pending changes if I change my mind.
