Answer 1

Try adding this to your MainScreen class:

protected boolean onSavePrompt() {
        return true;

   return true;
}

Another way would be to override the dirty state logic on your Screen class like this:

public boolean isDirty() { return false; }

Of course you can also just override that same method on a subclass of your Field, and that too should probably work. (assuming you still want to do dirty-state-tracking of other fields on the screen.)
