Description
When an admin creates a project, it's a two-step process to assign members: first you create the project, then you click on "Add/Invite Member". Meanwhile, the create project page has a "Members: None" line that's sitting there doing nothing.
What if we put an "Add/Invite Member" button in the "Create Project" page, allowing admins to assign project membership while the project is being created?
Reasons not to do this might include:
- Complexity of handling errors with adding members. If a member can't be invited/added, do you create the project anyway?
- Complexity of designing the UI to show members when they're not yet actually in the database, and their memberships only exist in a kind of "pending" state (i.e., in JS but not yet submitted via GraphQL or ProjectController).
- Having more than one way to do it
Reasons to do this might include:
- One-step process for admins to create projects and assign project managers, so their workflow is a little streamlined

Research direction
Start with the Create Project page and the existing Add/Invite Member flow, including the mentioned GraphQL or ProjectController submission path. Trace how project creation and membership assignment currently occur, then clarify how pending members and member-invite errors should behave before implementing the one-step admin workflow.
