When we make changes on a script in a script task, I suggest to add a "you have unsaved changes on the script! Do you want to save before leave the page?" message when someone want to navigate from the page before save the changes.
Why? When we open the script window to full screen, or we scroll down to the lower parts of the script, tha SAVE button won't be accessible on the screen, so very easy to forget to save the changes, Especially because the retry button is accessible, but if we retry the task before the save, we won't get any warning.
Another problem, when we make changes on the script, but the session has been ended before we save it (we have to go to a meeting or any other reason) all the changes will be lost. Is it possible to save a draft on the server side when the browser session ended?
Also I think it's a good idea to add "Undo" functionality to the script editor if that is possible.

- Can you confirm whether you are referring to the "Retry" button functionality visible in the full screen/expanded script editor? Can you specify for which Task type?
- We are considering adding "Save" and "Retry" buttons specifically for script tasks in the full-screen editor. Could you elaborate on your script writing or editing process? Do you perform these operations directly in the Release, or do you usually use an integrated development environment (IDE) for script code writing and proofreading, copying and pasting it into the Release afterward?
We usually edit the scripts directly in the release.
we have the retry button on the task form, and sometimes when we scroll down in the script to do smal changes, the save button scrolld out fromthe visible area, but the retry button is visible. If you forgot to save the script (because the button is not visibel) and do the retry, you will lost the scrip changes.
