Lock the page settings if someone is currently editing

    I created a custom settings page and added custom fields.
    If two or more users editing it at the same time the last user who saves settings overwrites the first one save.

    Is there any option to lock custom setting page during editing, preventing other users from accessing and modifying the settings?

    It sure seems like there’d be an easy function for this, but I haven’t found it. You can set up a semaphore to keep it “one at a time” using the heartbeat api

    This is handled in the post editor with the edit_lock meta field. The Customizer also has a similar feature (probably using the same meta field since a Customizer changeset is just another post type).
    You could create a transient that is a lock, so that only one user can be editing the options at any time.
