Bug : Submit idea -> Request Login -> have to start again

When submitting an idea in a portal that requires authentication:

I can type the idea, click submit but then I am prompted to authenticate.

After authentication all content is lost and I have to type everything again.

can you please make this process more user friendly by at least keeping the content entered?

    Hi there, thank you for your idea. In the case you described, the details entered into the idea should be kept after authenticating. I will ask our customer success team to reach out and help your team get this straightened out.
