@grantfitzsimmons,
The behavior is expected atm as we have a page reload when record sets are merged. Which was in the pr instructions.

This behavior is definitely not user-friendly and will most likely result in data being lost. Expected behavior does not necessarily mean acceptable for the end user, so I think there should be more thought on this. Push is OK— maybe discuss in our next dev meeting?
