Creating a form by opening a form file does not save it to account when signed in

[anikbrazeau]

Description

When importing a JSON form file to create a form, it opens in the Preview/Test section. If you go to Forms, that form does not save to your forms. It seems you need to take the extra step to go to Edit and actually name the file and click save? This could lead to confusion and losing forms when importing more than one in succession.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to GC Forms
2. Open a form file
3. Go to Forms
4. Go to Create new form
5. Open another form file
6. Go to Forms
7. Notice it's empty

Expected behaviour

Auto-named and auto-saved when imported?

Been wondering for a while if we should be taking folks to edit vs preview first ... thoughts?

[anikbrazeau]

Yeah I think that might be more expected? Or I wonder if conserving the name of the file and saving it when uploaded might also help if they land on preview?

Hi folks! This behaviour currently persists in Production - I'm going to de-scope it from the App Router work, and we can prioritize outside of this work
