If I modify some email template of a survey and click "Validate ExpressionScript" -button, it validates the saved version, not the one I just wrote. Hence I must first click Save and then validate-button. To me this feels like a small bug. What others thinks, should I make a bug report?

If it is not saved, it doesn't exist for Limesurvey, so it can't validate. It is just some text in a text box. If you leave the page, the code is gone as well.

I don't see this as a bug. Limesurvey is not autosave.

The Expression validation is done via PHP only.

You can report it as bug, but : what is the real desired behaviour.

I think have a "Validate" saving current value is a bad solution … we must save only if it's clearly show "Save and validate"

Best can be construct a temporary POST send it to expression to validate it … but really complex to do.

OK, then it's not worth it.

(From usability point I think it should clearly be so that the user writes, checks, corrects errors, checks, and at last saves. But this is not a big issue.)

Yes , 100% with that. But currently : i think there are better place to make effort on Usuability …
