Hard to tell from the context given (The code looks suspicious to
assign multiple onAnswer: handler). The cancel button works fine as
long as the form is not submitted multiple times, such as for
validation. The easiest and most stable solution is to edit a copy of
the contact and to replace it in the collection on success.
