Chronoforms 6 full save destroys part of form after several successful Quick Saves

artsapiens 10 Feb, 2020
This behavior is really inconsistent and hard to find any pattern to recreate when it happens, but it happened already not once to me.

Recently I was working on quite complicated form, and made a lot of small changes, clicking Quick Save after each iteration and looking to frontend, how the form looks/works and moving on. Then when everything was good enough I decided that it's good occasion to SAVE EVERYTHING, so I clicked Full Save.

And after page reloaded I see that all my work is gone - I'm kinda back to yesterday, where I just started - the result of all my Quick Saves are gone

so, questions:

1 - WHAT THE HELL???? How is it SAVE action destroyed my work?
2 - in which cases am I supposed to use FULL save? (and hopefully NOT to lose all the work I've done)?
2a - what's the difference between Quick and Full Saves?
3 - is it safe to use ONLY Quick Saves and never use Full Save? like just Quick Save and Close the form?
4 - why don't you use standard Joomla Save / Save and close / Close pattern, like it was long before?

It seems I'm using latest Chronoforms on Joomla 3.9.10, no updates are available in Update section.

Thanks in advance for your answers

Some additional information. Trying to recall any meaningful details I noticed that ACTIONS part of my form actually saved latest changes. And latest change in VIEWS (that possibly bugged everything) was that I pulled "Form Area" into form and moved around 10 already existing 10 into it.

I've found using the "duplicate" function to copy items destroys my forms when I save them. Keep forgetting to tell the dev about it.
