[chandler-users] partial sync of events problem

I'm not really understanding your question, here.

There are actually 2 different things at work here: changes to an
attribute don't get applied (different from committing) until a field is
left.  When the change gets applied, it's supposed to also get committed.

There's been talk of applying and committing changes in a field every 5
minutes or something like that, that would reduce the number of times
syncing happens in mid-edit, but it could still happen.

This seems different from your question above.  Currently, the new item
gets committed when it's created, so there's not really a window to not
commit new items.  We could conceivably add complexity to sharing to
avoid syncing items that are somehow flagged as "just created, not fully
baked yet", I suppose, but it'd be hard to make that work.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
