My Client is complaining that cmsb does not save field history using the auto fill features of firefox and ie.

I looked up the article and wanted to double check to see if cmsb has a setting the prevents the data from being saved.

Hi Concrete,

Yes, we disable autocomplete. You can re-enable it by removing this line in /lib/admin_functions.js

$('form').attr('autocomplete', 'off');

Hope that helps!

My client wants to have the autocomplete functionality within the CMS so I also removed this line from the code. However, now there are times where it will remember certain fields that I have typed in previously and at other times it doesn't. Is this common until you have more typed data stored? Also, does the autocomplete feature work on MAC/Safari browsers?

Thanks!

Hi April,

It completely depends on the browser. Most of them have autocomplete type of features but sometimes you need to turn it on. And of course, switching browsers would have it not remember what you put in the previous browser.

Here's a link I googled on turning it on in Safari:
