PR Description:

This snippet provides a reusable client-side script that prevents users from accidentally losing unsaved form changes in ServiceNow.
Features:

  • Automatic detection of all field changes on the form
  • Warns users before leaving the page with unsaved changes
  • Visual indicator showing form state
  • Auto-reset after successful save
  • Simple one-line initialization
    Use Cases:
  • Multi-step forms where users might accidentally navigate away
  • Long forms where data entry takes significant time
  • Critical data entry screens where data loss would be problematic
