The granted patent US12073210B2 describes a computing device and method for implementing a context-aware undo-redo service within an application development platform. The core functionality allows users to invoke undo operations related to environment variables entered through specific forms displayed on a computer application screen. Upon receiving the first undo request, the system navigates to the relevant screen and form, enabling the user to revert to previous values. A second invocation of the undo operation while the form is displayed allows the system to update the form to reflect these earlier values, enhancing user experience by providing a seamless way to manage changes.

Additionally, the patent outlines that the context-aware undo-redo service includes executable instructions for controlling both undo and redo operations while maintaining an active context of the application. This context encompasses user interface conditions and modifications made during the application's use. The service is designed to facilitate user interactions through configuration screens for redo operations and to ensure that the forms can adapt in terms of shape, visual appearance, and field configuration. The patent also covers a computing program product that embodies these functionalities, stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, ensuring that the described methods can be executed by processors to provide the intended context-aware capabilities.
