Autosave updating fields after DB submit

[ghost]

Describe the bug

When creating a new contact in the app on Nextcloud, it autosaves very frequently as you type. As I start typing a name, say "Alice Appleby", it autosaves part way through and loses the last few characters.

What this looks like is I type "Alice Appleby", but it will autosave halfway at "Alice App" and then reset the field to "Alice App", losing everything I typed after that point.

It's worse if there's more text, e.g. "Alice Appleby Smith", because the moment it autosaves and resets it goes back to "Alice App" and then continues typing, so you end up with "Alice Appmith".

I can cope with it on the occasional new contact, but to try and add several it is really frustrating. I've lost several phone numbers because I didn't see this and now I have the start and end only.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
As above. Try to create a new contact and as you type monitor for autosave jumping around the text fields.

Expected behavior
Contact should be created, with autosave being a passive event - it should autosave whatever the contents are at the time of actioning, but not feedback to the fields.

Actual behavior
Autosave is submitting to the database and then updating the fields on the page with whatever was just submitted. Wiping out anything not submitted but accepted into the fields, post-save event.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #930 (Input unfocused due to autosave), #392 (Option for exporting adressbooks has vanished), and #574 (Import of vcf file causes lots of errors).

Checked app latest version based on above bot response. I have Nextcloud 15.0.4 but below that under "Overview" is blank. It doesn't give any option to update to 15.0.5, nor does it say it's the latest version. Is this a bug too?

[ghost]

Updated manually to 15.0.5. No change to the issue.

Hello :)
This is a duplicate of the fixed issue #923
It will be fixed in the upcoming release!

[ghost]

@skjnldsv do you have an ETA? It's crippled one of my main functions as it stands.

[skjnldsv]

@a1pilot sure, I'm waiting to see if the translators on transifex finished translating the new string I added this week into the most used languages :)
So It should be tomorrow I hope ;)

@skjnldsv great stuff, thanks.

@skjnldsv This is back in 3.1.3.
