What do you think of the proposal? Is it understandable?
Not quite :-) Especially when it comes to the function of buttons
'Discard' stands for 'Really abort? Yes' - exits the module without saving the changes made by user.
But what about 'Apply' ? Does it write the changes and come back to the module so the user can make further changes? (that was fairly non-standard behaviour & terminology yast2-storage had used until recently). Or does it save the changes AND exit the module, just as if user clicked 'Ok' or 'Finish' button?
If the latter is the case, what about using 'Save' label instead, and changing the text to "Do you want to save the changes or discard them?" I'm sorry, I'm maybe too influenced by y2-storage, but 'Apply' evokes 'Save and come back' action to me, while 'Save' really stands for 'Save and exit' ...
Even this is IMO not an always working solution. Imagine you are in the middle of a workflow and hit 'Abort'; there is in fact nothing you can really save. While the 'Discard' is probably the most reasonable label, I really don't know what's the right one for continuing to work with the module.
