Save trade drafts? Poll added

[×Seven of Nine×]

This is mostly for huge bulk trades

But what if we could save a trade we are working on that has hundreds of pets?

I currently am bidding on a pet that's being auctioned for bulk and I'm at 584 pets.

And I got to thinking that it would be cool if we could add while we felt like it and put it down for a while and get back to it without losing progress.

Feel free to lock this and steal my cookies if it's already been suggested xD

Edit: poll added.
I still prefer people to discuss but you don't have to.

Always "handy" is you add a Poll when you start a Sugg Thread, like that we can quickly vote without being "obliged" to post...

But, yep, Support: => +1.

I don't send such "huge bulk Trades" myself, but I send "fairly large Trades" also, and I see another Usecase for your Sugg:

When I send a Trade myself to some other Player, I try to send a "Quality Trade"..., => I read their Trade Rules (at least the parts that are not in ]size=85[ or smaller, or Yellow/Grey/Pink/Green on a Green Background, ah-ah...! ), and I check several Pages of both WL's (often 10-20 Pages or more) to include "quite a few" Pets, same with Items also maybe, to try to make the Trade "Interesting" for both Sides...

And I write a "personal" Msg, not just "Trade?"..., if Items are involved, I mention that I've been "careful" to select only Items they have x2 or more, if the Items are "a bit older", I also mention from which Year(s)/Event(s), etc..., and for the Pets, depending on the "Experience" of the other Player, I sometimes also explain a bit "the Maths" for the Trade, etc..., but I often spend 30 Min or more on a Trade...

But then, when I am ready to send the Trade, and I "finally" click on the "Send trade" Button, ... I regularly get the "One of the Pets has been moved and is no longer available" Error Msg, and the Trade gets auto-cancelled, with no way to get back to the Trade to try to edit it to remove the "offending" Pet(s) that is/are not available anymore...

And I think at that moment, "Oh...! , grrr...! , arrrggghhhh...! , grrrr....!!! ", and I usually just give up, as I don't want to go and spend another 1/2h going through the same 10-20 WL Pages again to try to reconstruct the Trade...

=> Would be nice if Trades could be automatically or manually saved as Draft, maybe when we get the Prompt about the Trade being cancelled, with an extra Option like: "Do you want to save a Draft Version of this Trade if you want to edit it?"

Reason of no poll: to discuss.

I would like for this to be discussed, not for yes or no

I'm sorry this is uncomfortable for you.

Resurrecting this suggestion because the lack of a trade draft feature has been bothering me recently. It takes time to create good trade and I keep accidentally closing the tab and losing it all :') It could even be an export of the trade as JSON etc that you could copy and input later to re-add the same pets, if they are still owned. That would not be so easy to use as a UI for drafts, but would still be useful to experienced users creating bulk trades.

Very much in favor of this. Made a large trade earlier and had to completely redo it from memory because I got the error of "one of the pets you have selected is no longer available." I could hit the back button from that page and the trade was entirely intact, but there was no way to know which pet(s) to remove to make the trade valid. Draft saves and even some kind of indicator to tell you which pets weren't valid for editing purposes would be incredibly useful.

Adding to this thread as it is close to what i was coming here to make a thread about :

Alternatively, or in partnership with having “saved drafts”, i would really enjoy a feature that makes you able to edit and resend a trade you’ve already. Lately I often find myself with trades where I offered bulk that i ended up getting half of the pets I wanted from other people by now. I still want the other half of the wishlist pets I initially offered on, without having to delete the trade and remake it selecting 50+ pets on my side again… for now im messaging the people i want to edit with to edit and resend to me with instructions of my new offer (usually “remove the pets no longer on my wishlist but keep my side as is, extra gift “ ) but im worried i’ll come off as annoying or pushy or even harassing (im just trying to be nice but not waste my time re adding 60 pets when they can just remove 2 and resend if they like my offer TT_TT)
Basically pls feature to edit and resend a trade you last sent yourself PLEASE

Support! Especially because of this situation, no idea if that would be a different thing or not though.

Emphasis was my edit!
