Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As an author submitting to a Janeway Repository, I may forget which submission type I selected and become confused when type-specific submission questions are asked on the submission page.

Describe the solution you'd like
If a Repository supports 2+ submission types, include the submitter's selected type in the header so they are reminded throughout the submission process.

Research direction

Start at the Janeway Repository submission page and locate where the submission header and selected submission type are rendered. Verify how repositories with multiple submission types expose the selection, then update the header so the selected type remains visible throughout submission; done means single-type repositories are unaffected and the selected type appears for repositories supporting two or more types.
