Hi @esaruoho , changing a default work item behavior from Save & Close to Save isn't currently supported. No apologies necessary for selecting "azure-webapps" for your tag. We do require tags so that our community can best serve each other.
To that end, questions related to Azure DevOps aren't currently supported in our Q&A platform. We do however have a forum for that product over at https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/spaces/21/index.html. When checking that forum, I did find this feedback which you may certainly upvote and add your own verbatim.
