Description
If I save a Matrix field twice, the new fields are gone.
I've migrated a craft 3 install to craft 4 some time ago and it is very janky.
I have a matrix field which at first glance lets me edit and add new fields. But if I go into the field settings a second time, all new fields are gone.
See here:
Steps to reproduce
- Open the field settings of a matrix field
- Create a new field
- Save
- Open the field again
- The new field is gone

- No error shows up in the logs
- It seems to be only happening in these three fieldtypes

When I check craft_matrixblocktypes in the db these fields have a fieldLayoutId value of NULL. Does this have anything to do with it?
Craft CMS version

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a Matrix field in the reported Craft CMS 4.4.3 migration scenario, focusing on the GIPHY, Youtube, and Video field types. Inspect the saved craft_matrixblocktypes records and their fieldLayoutId values; done means newly created fields remain present after reopening and saving the field settings.
