In my app, users can create tasks. The primary TitleBar action on the new task page is “Create task”. The BFS reviewer wants the app to use the Save Bar component from App Bridge. I’ve done this now, but I’m worried that there will be an issue because the save bar has a Save action, which we’ve just tied to the same Create task button, so they do the same thing. Should we disable the Save button in the Save Bar, remove the Create task button, or is it fine to leave both?
I don’t want to remove the “Create task” button because “Save” doesn’t really make sense with this app, and I don’t want to confuse the users. Because you don’t “save” the task; you create the task, which either schedules or starts running it immediately. There’s no way to edit the task once it’s been created. You can only edit as new, which creates a new task using the same settings. But perhaps I’m overthinking it and it will still be intuitive only having the Save Bar.
Is there any guidance for this? I feel like the reviewer thinks editing the task as new is the same as editing a resource. What’s the correct implementation for a form where the primary action performs an action instead of saving a resource that can be edited later?
I really just need to know if I can remove the Save Bar and resubmit the application without getting flagged again and potentially banned due to the reviewer misunderstanding the edit as new feature of the app. They’ve clarified the save bar isn’t necessary for creating the task, but they think the edit as new feature is editing an existing task, when it’s creating a new one from that task. I’ve updated the messaging in the app to hopefully make this a bit clearer.
Just an update to anyone else reading this, they did end up confirming the Save Bar is not required for my use case when creating tasks. However, they were still confused on the Edit as new functionality and claimed it was required, when nothing is actually being edited.
I’ve tried to clarify how the edit functionality works, so I guess I’ll just resubmit and hope for the best.
Update again, the next submission had 5 different issues, but that one wasn’t mentioned, so I assume it’s resolved. Another reviewer, another list of things to fix.
