<ul></ul><p>To tell the truth there is a lot of places in Redmine, where users suffer for lack the <strong>cancel</strong> or <strong>back to ...</strong> buttons.<br />Such a lack is a serious usability issue.</p> Redmine - Feature #4285: Add cancel button during edition of the wikihttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4285?journal_id=124432009-11-25T19:50:05ZJean-Philippe Langjp_lang@yahoo.fr

<ul></ul><p>I agree that having a <strong>Cancel</strong> button when editing an issue or wiki page would be nice for users. I generally refresh my browser if I think I have messed something up, but that seems a tad clunky. Some of my users have expressed an expectation of seeing Cancel too.</p> Redmine - Feature #4285: Add cancel button during edition of the wikihttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4285?journal_id=264152011-03-15T07:54:38ZDylan Yi

<ul></ul>There are some places that is really very difficult to know what to do on the cancel event, but there are others that is very easy.<br />Why not to solve this in parts ?<br />First solve the easy ones ? Like
<ul>
<li>Issue update</li>
<li>Wiki edit </li>
<li>Others ?</li>
</ul>
<p>Others more difficult we can leave to solve in future.</p>

<ul></ul><p>There's no special difficulty about where to go back in those cases I think. A back url mechanism as in other places in Redmine would be ok.</p>
Some thoughts:
<ul>
<li>the difficulty is mainly UI: in "New Issue" we already have 2 buttons and one link, adding an other can add some confusion ; maybe throw it on the right side ?</li>
<li>the previous button is always ok in Redmine ; I know there are a lot of apps out there that are still in the 90s and horribly break when using Previous/Next buttons, but Redmine is not one of them, there are clean redirects after form submissions so Previous/Next could only lead you to safe actions</li>
<li>@Evgeny: thanks for your patch but I think we should do a simple link ; going with a button on the create action is semantically incorrect I think, and it's dangerous (if we break our check, we submit the form whereas we didn't want to)</li>
