Cms: New Structure entries are created at level 1, even if they have a parent entry selected

[mmikkel]

Description

When creating a new Structure Entry, even if a parent Entry is selected in the "Parent" field, the new Entry is created at level 1 and at the bottom of the Structure.

This only applies to new Entries; selecting a parent Entry when editing an existing Entry works as expected.

I've tested this on both 3.4.20 and 3.4.22.1; it does not happen on the former (did not test 3.4.21 or 3.4.22).

The Craft install is not multi-site.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Structure section, and add some entries to it
2. Click "New Entry" from the Entry index
3. Select a parent Entry in the Parent field, and save the new Entry
4. Confirm that the new Entry sits at level 1 at the bottom of the Structure, rather than being nested under the selected parent Entry

Hey, I can confirm we're also experiencing this after applying recent updates - child items are ending up on top level, triggering template errors, including when disabling/undisabling items. We're on the latest Craft Pro 3.4.22.1.
I've tested this on fresh content blocks - they are okay if you're in the full mode, but if you're in preview mode and save the page with disabled items, the children pop out of the parent by the looks of it.

I’ve narrowed this down to any time a new draft is published (including the initial unsaved draft you get when creating a new entry), the source entry won’t pick up the new parent specified by the draft.

This is now fixed for the next release.

Craft 3.4.23 is out now with the fix.
