When creating a script, all form data is lost on a validation error.

The validation itself is helpful (it told me I needed the -y flag), but the form should keep all the data. It's frustrating to type everything out again.

This only seemed to happen on the first form submission, which was a bit odd. After that point, some helpful documentation also appeared on the left of the form, which was not present when creating the script.

I'm not really getting this, how do I replicate?

That's weird, I just tested it again with a fresh script and it worked this time. Maybe I made a mistake, or maybe there's a specific validation error that causes it.

I also tried deleting all my scripts to see if it was the first script only, but it still works fine.

(Also just edited my original comment.)

Keep a close eye! We'll close it for now, feel free to reply if it happens again!
