The current situation
At the moment you can edit multiple board names and colors at the same time.

Describe the solution you'd like
I feel like - and I don't have any data to back this - that when a user clicks on two Edit board actions in a row, they usually want to cancel the previous edit. The thought process would be something like this: "I want to rename my boards. Let me rename this board. Ah no, let's rather rename the other board."

Describe alternatives you've considered
I do see a little bit of an use case to the current situation if a user wants to edit multiple boards and changes the board name or color multiple times during this process. The user would still have to click on Edit board for each board in the navigation and still submit each edit individually but perhaps for someone this seems to be the more convenient option than having to click on Edit board again when they changed their mind.

However, personally I believe that dismissing the edit has the better, more intuitive UX. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Research direction

Start at the board navigation's “Edit board” action and trace how opening one edit view affects other open views. Confirm the intended behavior from the issue: opening a second edit view should dismiss the first while preserving the ability to submit the active edit.】【。
