Prevent Collect to reload a form definition while editing this form

Good morning from France :wink:
Yesterday a colleague started a form in the field in the morning (Collect 1.30 / Central 1.2, administered mode), took a break and when he reactivated the phone, ODK ran the new version of the form it detected on Central (I updated it the night before) and started a blank form.
The data collected in the morning was lost. I think he probably didn't use the floppy disk icon to save the work, but I think it would be best not to allow a form definition to be updated while that form is open.

Do you mean they reopened Collect and were automatically in form entry or that they were back on the Main Menu and clicked through "Fill Blank Form" to get back to the form?

Hi @seadowg
I will ask it to my colleague more precision...

My colleague doesn't remember precisely. I remember he told me he went back to the main menu and he had to "Fill Blank Form" but I can't be 100% sure. Sorry I did not investigate more when it happened.
