bug in editing post collections.

[spiral99-zz]

Expected behaviour

editing a collection should make observable changes to the selected colllection

Actual behaviour

Trying to edit a created collection doesn't seem to work as expected instead the feature creates a new collection while retaining the unedited collection.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour/error

1. Login to your deployment
2. Click on the collection icon on the bottom left of the page and create a new collection.
3. Click on the created collectioncand attempt to edit.

Thanks for the bug report @spiral99
I think this is a duplicate of #1402 .. though you've provided MUCH more info thanks!

@rjmackay I just fixed 1402, it's PR is up on the repo

[rjmackay]

@willdoran I see ushahidi/platform-client#355 which fixed #1413
but not #1402

Am I missing something?

[willdoran]

@rjmackay I think that was a typo on my part I meant #1413

Editing name of collection is successful.

Editing default view does not work immediately, or upon refresh. (see gif attached)

Editing permissions is ok to change only upon returning to the collection/refreshing.

I think setting view mode works as expected. You can view a collection with either map or timeline view.. the default is just the default with you first navigate to it. It won't change mode when you reload the view, because the URL is /collections/5/list or /collections/5/map. That is the way this worked prior to this change too

To test

1. Open collections menu and click on a collection
2. Edit collection and set default viewing mode to 'map'
3. Save the collection
4. Open collections menu and click on the same collection
   It will take you to the map.
   Repeat with timeline mode.

I'm going to land the change since it fixes the original bug. I can do a follow up if the default view behaviour is a problem.
