Hi Jonathan,

I have fixed the spelling mistake and the session timeout not being
reflected when adding/editing properties through the UI.

However, regarding the pop-up, I believe that coming up with a non-modal
alert, would be better but would be inconsistent with the remainder of the
UI alerts as we display pop-up messages elsewhere.

Therefore, what we can do is re-direct the user to the added
resource/collection which sounds logical, as 95% of the people would be
interested to see what gets added soon after adding something. But, this
would be an issue for someone who keeps on adding several resources one
after the other as he needs to go back-and-forth.

So, IMHO both of the proposed improvements have pros and cons.

Regarding the loss in connection with the BE; this can be due to several
reasons ranging from DB un-availability, loss of network connectivity,
inadequate permissions etc. I'm +1 for retrying to establish the connection
with the BE. How about an additional "Do you want to retry to connect to the
BE?" option along with the error message?

Bouncing back to where you were after a session timeout is a key improvement
that we are hoping to add. This is also required by notifications etc, as
the current model doesn't allow sending any link within an e-mail
notification since it becomes meaningless unless you are logged in.

Thanks,
Senaka.
