Description
- someone writes a workflow action that modifies a user-modifiable ticket field
- user selects that action, and previews the change
- user selects a different action
- user previews or submits changes
The changes made by the workflow action will still be present; they will not be reverted.
Internally, the code does not differentiate between user changes and workflow changes across a preview.
The correct behavior here, particularly in cases where the user modifies the same fields as the workflow, is open for debate.

See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Actually the problem Eli described here is a known short-coming of the current TracWorkflow design. It was already discussed at length in some other tickets and this ticket is a summary of the problem. Definitely something we should address "one day".
