Duplicate post removes form field content

    Hello!
    I have a question about an issue we have noticed about the duplicate post/title content detection: Is there a way to make it so when a duplicate post and/or title is detected after the user tries to submit the post, that the contact in the fields is not the deleted? Now when a duplicate post is detected, there’s an error text and all the content in the fields are deleted. To be clear we do NOT want users to be able to submit posts with post/title field content that is the same as an existing post, but we also don’t want the content in the fields to be removed when the user tries to submit.
    and i think it’s possible through submit the form by ajax.

    Glad to help:

    1. “i think it’s possible through submit the form by ajax”

    No that is incorrect. All form submissions are handled via POST request. There is no current support for Ajax submissions.

    2. “Is there a way to make it so when a duplicate post and/or title is detected after the user tries to submit the post, that the contact in the fields is not the deleted?”

    Yes that is how it works normally. The browser remembers the form fields if there is an error. Only the File(s) field is not remembered. If that is not happening for any specific site, it usually means there is something (like some other plugin) that is interfering with normal functionality. So best advice in that case is to do some basic troubleshooting. I would be glad to provide a guide if it might be useful for you.

    This is not a best solution for this. how much data browser will save and remind. I think you need to improve like save the input data in session variable, and append the same data after page load if user get the error message. because browser will not suggest the attachment doc or images. so i think you need to work on it. multiple users are facing this type of errors.
