I have not had a lot of experience with DotNet Core. We have created a Portal for our users utilizing DotNet Core 3.1. I am just throwing this out there to get ideas on how to handle this if it is possible:
In the portal we have a View where faculty members submit a form auditing Health Provider Charts. This View is about 20 questions with half of them being drop-downs and half being free text entry. Here is the View:
@model ChartAuditVM
@{
ViewData["Title"] = "New Chart Audit"; ;
}
<div class="container bg-light">
<br />
<hr />
<h3 class="text-center">Chart Audit for @ViewBag.Participant</h3>
<hr />
@if (TempData["Message"] != null)
{
<div class="alert alert-info">@TempData["Message"]</div>
}

Users are complaining that if they walk away from the form and come back to it after 15 minutes, the portal asks them to login again (of course that is what we want it to do), any data they have entered into the form is lost. They have to retype the data. Is there a way to handle this so that once the portal logs them in and takes them back to the form, the data is still there? Or should I just tell them they should not start a form if they cannot complete it? I cannot commit this data to the database because all of the drop-down fields are required before the data can be saved to SQL Server. I have thought of several creative ways I could handle this with the database, but I would rather not do that because it would cause some extensive re-design of the portal form and how this is handled. One of the main reasons for the entire issue is we cannot allow a record to be edited once it is entered. Addendums can be added, but the record is not to be edited. This is a legal requirement.
What I have tried:
I have done a lot of research at this point. The best solutions I have found thus far, all refer to older versions of DotNet Core or reqular DotNet.
