Auto-save risk of overwriting when two tabs #8

I found that, during making an application, I had opened two tabs to the same section, i.e. the same /application/<aId>/form/question/<qId> URL.

Both were autosaving.

Although I should have realised I had two tabs for the same target open, there is clearly a risk here of data in one being overwritten by another.

I think it would be wise for each form instance to transmit an identifier with the auto-save call, and thus detect when a form is being opened in parallel within the same user session, so that the user can be warned or take some other action.
