I have a fresh install of Umbraco 13 forms in an Umbraco 13.5.3 site.
I'm trying to insert a form via a rich text box using a macro.
I select the form and complete all the fields. The form appears in the rich text box and then click save.
It says content is published and saved on website.
However when I go to move to another node it says
You have unsaved changes
Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? - you have unsaved changes
I'm not sure I can help with the issue you are explaining, so apologies for that, but I did want to suggest not using a Macro to add a form to a page if you can help it.
Macro's are an obsolete technology now and have been replaced with Blocks in the rich text editor. Although Macro's are available in v13 it's not recommended to use them any more as they will be a migration/upgrade issue in the future.

Discard changes Stay
Event though I already saved the form.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Saying that, switching to blocks in the RTE may potentially resolve your issue but I can't be certain.
Thanks

Hi Roslyn,
This is a common glitch when inserting macros into the Rich Text Editor. Here are a few quick suggestions:
1.Remove & Re-Add the Macro
Delete the macro, save/publish, then re-insert the macro and save again.
2.Use Blocks Instead of Macros
Macros in the RTE are considered legacy. Umbraco now recommends using Blocks to embed Forms.
This often fixes the “unsaved changes” warning and is future-proof for upgrades.
3.Check for Errors & Updates
Make sure your Umbraco 13 and Forms packages are fully up-to-date.
If the issue persists, try a different browser or check the developer console for any errors.
Hope this helps!
