How to ignore a dirty state when canceling

Continuing the discussion from Closing a read-only document with editable transient field without a warning:

Is there a way to avoid this warning?

The warning relates to canceling out of a dirty form. The form is dirty because the user has interacted with controls which reference transient fields.

What’s the best way to proceed:

• Use a custom event?
• Customize the View?
• ..

For a generic solution do the following:

• Create a generic event name e.g. force_cancel.
• Create a middleware that reacts to this event.
• Dispatch ActivityActions.cancel action.

This does not trigger any dirty handling (see here).
