Research direction

Start by reproducing the link-share permission and settings behavior in the share editing UI on Nextcloud 29 or newer, comparing changes made immediately with changes made after selecting Save. Verify whether Cancel restores the state from when editing began. Done means the save behavior is consistent for all settings and Cancel reliably reverts unsaved changes.
