Page-Aware Configuration Screens

One thing I've found very cumbersome is when I'm editing a device and I need to click on a port, for example, to edit some properties. When I'm done editing the port, I click save and am directed back to the ports list. I then have to go back and find the device I was working on to continue editing. 

It would be immensely helpful to have the given page be aware you're coming to it from x device to redirect you back there after you are done editing. Alternatively display the properties page for the given port, etc as a new frame inside the device page; much how clicking the edit button in the device connectivity section functions.

  Thanks for pointing that out, Stefano. I'd say my request is an extension of yours as I'd like to have the page redirect you to the device that you were editing if you got pushed to an external object page from that device. 

  I can also agree that clicking save on a device/object page when you are editing it directly should keep you on that given device/object's page while returning you to view mode instead of kicking you back to the list.

  There seems to be a problem, I can't up-vote this a million times. Yes, the save button should bring you straight back to the device/object that you were just editing, not the full list of objects.

  My original request is over two years old at this point and this problem still hasn't been addressed. Sincerely hope this is on the radar somewhere.
