Identify which model has unsaved changes

I believe one of the rendering choices is “unsaved changes in model”. You could have a rich text for each of your models with the name of the model and render them only when there are unsaved changed.

Right, similar to what I do with the save buttons but that would show specifically which model.

The problem is I only want to see it when I’m debugging something new and would prefer to avoid adding something custom like that for each page. The page I’m on now has about 20 models. 

skuid.model.list() is how you can see the models in the console.

Then you could use this snippet to show which have unsaved changes.

var $ = skuid.$; $.each(skuid.model.list(),function(m,model){ if(model.hasChanged){ console.log(model.id); } });<br>

Fantastic, that will definitely help. Now, for bonus points, how would I set up that snippet to run when the user tries to leave the page?

Hmmm… you could use this snippet in conjuction with action framework, but not tying into the default “Warn user if page has unsaved changes” set to yes and closing the page or navigating away from the page. At least not with anything documented. It would be a idea to add this functionality though.

Right here under the model option to provide a picklist option with use “Model Id” and “Custom”. Similar to auto table filters on picklists and lookups.
