Browser refresh kills a process

Hi, I'm new to Appian and I can't get past this issue. Ex. I have a running process with one instance which is currently at the interface node. When I click ctrl + r, browser refreshes, the process instance is cancelled and a new instance is started. Upon instance cancellation, my data gets messed up in DB. So my questions are:

  1. Can I prevent browser refresh on ctrl+r or browser refresh button?
  2. Can I prevent a process to be cancelled upon browser refresh?
  3. Is there any way to perform pre-cancellation action to prevent data loss?

Thank you for the info.

Also, , "Tags" section on the question input form is not working, it crashes the form and needs to be reloaded. I don't know how to create a bug for the forum so I tagged you.

    I remember a scenario in which this happens.

    A process model WITHOUT a start form, but with an initial user input task is used as a page in a site. Such a setup would lead to the behaviour you see.

    That is a problem that you need to solve by using process start forms instead of initial user input tasks.

    Does this correlate with your situation? If not, please describe your specific setup in detail.
