• Changed the public methods: duplicateActivity(), setActivity() and setActivityItems() so that they now return false in the Item edit in Activity edit view. The new behaviour is clearer because it explicitly returns false instead of behaving unpredictably.
• Changed the public methods: createItem(), duplicateItem(), editItem() so that they now return false in the Activity edit view. The new behaviour is clearer because it explicitly returns false instead of behaving unpredictably.
• Improved the public method safeToUnload(). If it's called in the Item edit in Activity edit view, it now checks whether there are unsaved changes in both the Activity edit view and the Item edit view. Previously, it only checked if there were unsaved changes in the Item edit view. This makes the safeToUnload() public method more reliable when used to check if the user has any unsaved changes.
