Load Issue Drafts

When you create an issue, YouTrack saves the data automatically as an issue draft. To save the draft, you don't need to do anything at all. The following actions are available when creating an issue draft: Just click the Cancel button to exit the New Issue page or click the New Issue button in the header to start reporting a different issue.
