Description of the problem
I have my personal account and an org account. The org accounts owns a template. When I navigate to the template codesandboxes switches the current "user" in the top left to the org account. When I fork that template the fork is owned by the org account when it should be owned by me.
How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?
It's mildly annoying since I "just have to move" the newly created sandboxes to my account but that's easy to forget when quickly prototyping
To Reproduce
- Setup org
- Create template from org
- Switch to personal account
- Navigate to template
