Description

When editing a content object today you might be in a situation where the session times out due to inactivity. Editors have seen this happen because of:
* Low session timeout
* Long period of time between pushing the "Save Draft" or "Preview" button
This could be prevented by enabling an automatic save every X minutes. This operation should save the current content as a draft similar to manually pushing the "Save Draft" button. The operation should be done in the background (Ajax) and a notification on the editing toolbar should appear after successful save.
Prerequisite: in order to enable this feature there needs to be introduced a setting to enable saving of a draft even if not all fields are filled in. Meaning that "Required Fields" should not be required for "Save Draft" and for "Preview". Of course they should still be validated for publishing.
