I'm building a custom section, and utilizing the built in menu actions for items in the menu tree. Basically I'm trying to create a folder tree, that lets the users create a folder hierarchy in my tree.

Problem is: after creating a new folder, the umbraco backend stays in "create" mode, which means that after creating and saving a node, next action will spawn a "You have unsaved changes" warning in the backend. I suspect this is because after creating and saving the node, the url does not change. While creating it will be: #/Docstore/DocstoreTree/edit/{id of parent}?create, and it doesn't change after hitting "Save" in the backend. I've tried changing the url in the $scope.save function, but it just shows the "Unsaved changes" warning and halts the url relocation.

EDIT: Later found a service with a method aimed at this: contentEditingHelper.redirectToCreatedContent(), but it still shows the dreaded "Unsaved content" warning when calling the method.

UPDATE: Pinpointed the origin of the warning, in the html form I'm using I copied a form with a val-form-manager directive, that basically checks the $dirty property of the form and blocks navigating to new route with the unsaved message. At the moment I don't understand why the form is considered dirty after the save.

To set up the menu actions for each node I'm using this code:

namespace MySection.Trees
{
    [PluginController("Docstore")]
    [Tree("Docstore", "DocstoreTree", "Versioned documents", 
          "icon-folder", "icon-folder-open", true, 100)]
    public class DocstoreTreeController : TreeController
    {
        // Tree
        protected override TreeNodeCollection GetTreeNodes(string id,
            FormDataCollection queryStrings)
        {
            // Creating the tree …
        }

        // Menuitems
        protected override MenuItemCollection GetMenuForNode(string id,
            FormDataCollection queryStrings)
        {
            var menu = new MenuItemCollection();

            // Menu for root
            if (id == Constants.System.Root.ToInvariantString())
            {
                menu.Items.Add<CreateChildEntity, ActionNew>
                    (ui.Text("actions", ActionNew.Instance.Alias));
                menu.Items.Add<RefreshNode, ActionRefresh>
                    (ui.Text("actions", ActionRefresh.Instance.Alias), true);
                return menu;
            }
            // Menu for other items
            menu.Items.Add<CreateChildEntity, ActionNew>
                (ui.Text("actions", ActionNew.Instance.Alias));
            menu.Items.Add<RefreshNode, ActionRefresh>
                (ui.Text("actions", ActionRefresh.Instance.Alias), true);
            return menu;
        }
    }
}

In the edit controller I'm handling the edit/save events like this:

angular.module('umbraco').controller('Docstore.FolderEditController',
    function ($scope, $routeParams, notificationsService,
              navigationService, docstoreResource) {
        // Event handlers
        $scope.save = function (folder) {
            docstoreResource.saveFolder(folder).then(function (response) {
                $scope.folder = response.data;
                $scope.syncDocstoreTree(true);
                notificationsService.success('Succes', folder.name + ' blev oprettet');
            });
        }

        $scope.syncDocstoreTree = function (reload) {
            var pathArray = ['-1'];
            console.log('Path: ' + $scope.folder.path + "!");
            if ($scope.folder.path) {
                pathArray.push.apply(pathArray, $scope.folder.path.trim().split(','));
            }
            pathArray.push($scope.folder.id.toString());
            return navigationService.syncTree({
                tree: 'DocstoreTree',
                path: pathArray,
                forceReload: reload
            });
        }

        // Setup scope properties and display
        $scope.loaded = false;


        // Check if we're at the root of the tree
        if ($routeParams.id === '-1') {
            $scope.folder = {
                name: ''
            }
            $scope.loaded = true;
            return;
        }

        // Check if we're creating a subfolder
        if ($routeParams.create) {
            $scope.folder = {
                name: '',
                parentId: $routeParams.id
            }
            $scope.loaded = true;
            return;
        }

        // If we reached this spot, there must be a selected folder to load
        docstoreResource.getFolder($routeParams.id).then(function (response) {
            $scope.folder = response.data;
            $scope.syncDocstoreTree(true).then(function() {
                $scope.loaded = true;
            });
        });
    });
