Need ability to suppress popup warning in 3.5.3 when Gantt has unsaved data

Compass application (Tririga Capital Projects Manager) - All users impacted

The new functionality in 3.5.3 that pops up a warning on any unsaved temporary data in the project schedule gantt is causing an unnecessary number of constant warning messages for all our users while managing their schedules.

Our implementation is customized in such a way (Gantt displayed on the schedule task with on change workflows running against date fields) that the frequency of this popup is very common and not providing usefulness. For what is currently in place in Compass, users are not at risk to lose data at the points that the popup appears, because we call the on change workflows which update all of the dependent tasks. The Gantt is technically holding temporary data, but we have committed everything for the user. There is no need to save the gantt until all changes are complete and the user is ready to close the task window in our implementation.

As such, the warning is requiring users to add multiple extra clicks to management of every schedule task, without providing any value. It makes the amount of time to manage a project schedule at least 2-3x longer than currently.

In order to allow schedule management and usability in our implementation, we would like the ability to disable this feature, as it is not beneficial to our users.
