Auto save function not saving record

I have the autosave function turned on for a table and a button in the table that navigates back to the home page with the intent to save the record progress where it is when clicking on the button. Furthermore, upon creating a record, there are a couple of other fields that are auto-filled in, one from the parent/child relationship and the other from the code in the Add Record button. However, if a record is started, and no other changes are made beyond those 2 auto-filled fields it doesn't save the record, it just navigates back to the home page. If I make just one other change, it works fine. I am wondering why those other fields changing when the record is created initially doesn't constitute a change?

In my experience form will not auto save unless there is some data entry. Default field values do not seem to count. What I did was to set up a form rule to populate a dummy field with the current date and time and that ensured that the record was dirtied and hence when you went to navigate away it will auto save.
