Are You Sure You Want To Reject?

This got me today... I had about 15 minutes in on an observation and I got that inevitable antsy impatient urge to start pushing buttons... I stopped the observation to walk the LS to a clear spot... when I walked it back and centered up I hit “reject” rather than “resume” ....grrrr! Lost it all!!!

Could I request for future J-Field updates a warning message that would appear when the reject button is pushed that would say:

Warning: “GNSS raw data has been collected with this observation are you sure you want to reject?
[ YES - REJECT ]

That would have saved me a half hour today due to my fat fingers

If it's a user setting, I'm going to get tired of it asking me and turn it off. Then I'll reject a point that I should have accepted and wish I had it turned on. I think a better approach would be to have a Points Recycle Bin where rejected shots, and deleted or overwritten points go until I'm sure I don't need them.

John's idea is even better.
Of course, there are details to be worked out. Such as point names. If you reject point 47, use point 47 elsewhere, then bring it back, then what is its point name? Maybe R_47, for Restored 47?
But, I like this direction in the conversation.
We somehow failed to store a shot the other day, on stake out. I have to go back and get it.
But, I suspect I hit the HOME button, instead of "accept as".
So, to trigger storing in the rejected pile, it could require a number of triggers, to do this.

I was thinking maybe it should be an option buried in the profiles. So for instance it would be turned on in the boundary profile when raw data is being collected with my points but not on when doing quick topo when we’re prone to reject quite often. This way the profile switch would toggle it on/off depending on how you want it set.

what is its point name?
It wouldn't matter much to me if rejected points were stored with Code Defcode and a name like Rejected_190731_08_11_19. There aren't likely to be so many of them that I can't sort them out. I can edit the name, code, attributes, and description. It's the observed data that I would be missing.

I would like to see something like Windows® Recycle Bin. I have to admit I lost a days work by hitting the Reject button at each observation. I must have been sick or something because I thought I was hitting the Accept button at each observation. A Recycle Bin would have saved the day!
