Process Bug: cancel button does not cancel; saves & starts process

[Amy Ball Wicklund]

I think this is a bug and I can't find mention of it on GitHub or in the group but want to confirm before I file my first Issue. 

When creating a new process through the Admin sidebar menu, the cancel button does not always cancel; in some circumstances it behaves identically to the Save button; ie the green "process successfully created" message appears and the process begins running. 

In some circumstances, cancel does work. E.g., if no process has been selected from the drop-down. But if a selection has been made, and there are no errors such as missing required parameters/values, canceling = saving.

Hi Amy,

It's really difficult to say for certain, but it might be a bug.  Ideally, it'd be good to see if you can find a way to reliably reproduce the problem.  So, is there a particular process where this occurs, or similar.  Or, even better, see if it's reproducible reliably from the demo site at  https://demo7.dspace.org.   Obviously, any developer would need to find a way to reproduce the same issue locally... as that would provide the clues needed to determine why it isn't working properly.

If you find that it's a really random issue (not easy to reliably reproduce) then it might be best to look for underlying errors using the Troubleshooting guide: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)   Random behavior could mean there's some error behind the scenes, which could either be a bug or a configuration issue or similar.

Thanks Tim. I was able to reproduce this on the demo site, and have filed an issue with the details: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8975. ~Amy
