Describe the bug
Very minor / cleanup suggestion.
The "back" button shown below in user settings always takes you to the global redirect URL, which in our case is the homepage. It does not appear to be configurable.
It so happens that the settings update on our end is initiated somewhere other than the homepage, so suggesting that the link will take the user "back" is inaccurate for us. I expected Post-Settings Redirect to apply here, but I understand if it has to be a new setting since this isn't really a "post" redirect.
