Description
Problem Statement
When creating a brand new content type and you edit the content types preferences (upper right hand edit button) and then click cancel, all of the added fields 'disappear'.
Adding a new field to the screen brings them all back.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a new content type
Add several fields
Select 'edit' from the upper right hand corner
Hit cancel in the edit modal
---> All previously added fields disappear
Add another field
---> All previously added fields reappear

Added fields should not disappear.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the content type creation screen: add several fields, open the content types preferences edit modal, cancel it, and observe the fields. Trace the cancel flow and field rendering from that screen; done means previously added fields remain visible after cancel and still reappear correctly when another field is added.
