Description
Current behaviour
Setting the asynchronous property to true allows you to run a command action asynchronously in the background. Use this feature for long-running actions that would otherwise block the UI and prevent the user from continuing their work.
When a user launches an asynchronous action, Magnolia starts to execute the action immediately. If the action is not completed within five seconds, the system will notify the user that the action will take a while to complete.
The notification will disappear after 2 seconds. The user doesn't have any visual feedback to know what's happening or what the status of the progress is - especially when users do not have enough time to read the (blue) message
Desired behaviour
Make the yellow message persistence, so that it doesn't disappear after 2 secs. Instead the user intentionally needs to click on ( x ) to acknowledge the message and make it disappear.
Context
This ticket describes a shorter term improvement until we a more general solution is available. E.g. an indicator showing in progress background tasks. See these mock ups for current work in progress by prodrigues.
