Just reporting some UX issues around the modals to edit things (Edit Repair Record, etc.)

  • Because the cofirmations are always "Edit Record", the size varies which is a bit of a jarring experience and is hard to mentally go "oh, that's where it's going to be". I missed quite a few times while doing lots of edits between various types to backfill data.
  • I also had some double-takes because the prompt was "Edit" rather than something like "Confirm" or "Save" - I'm already editing, so why would I need to "Edit" again?
  • When editing, there's no confirmation prompt to discard edits prompt if you click out of the modal with unsaved edits. While it does track unsaved edits (hooray!), I found I was sometimes trying to figure out which item I was editing again (after missing the confirm, noted above) and have to find it again.
  • On "Edit Supply Record" it was not clear whether the "Cost" is "Unit Cost" or "Total Cost" until I clicked the little "+" on quantity and it seems like unit costs are automatically calculated. It may be better to name it more specifically upfront
  • Entering a value into a cost with a $, the entire number is dropped. This may be common when copy-pasting values over. It would be great to discard the $ (or potentially all non-digit/.?) to make that a little more usable in some situations
  • Similarly, I found whitespaces are not ignored/stripped on various number fields (e.g. Supply Record's quantity and cost)

Nonetheless, this is an awesome app and I'm happy to replace spreadsheets with something I can convince my partner to use!
