Description

When creating a new Job, clicking Save prompts WordPress to pop up the message "Do you want to leave this site?".

This suggests WP thinks there are unsaved changes that will be lost by clicking Save.

Debugging shows this bug has been introduced by #36, but it's not clear yet why.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the prompt when creating a Job and compare the changes introduced by issue #36. Trace why WordPress treats the Save action as leaving unsaved changes; done means saving a new Job no longer shows the prompt.
