Role changes after selecting domain in create account form #13191
Description
Hi, #12200 added a QoL change to pre-assign the domain according to URL path and it then changes the default role to match said domain.
However, I feel it worsens the default experience when you fill the form from top to bottom: when creating a user, it changes the role to the default one even after specifically selecting before.
Filling out form:
And after changing the domain:
I ended up creating test accounts with different roles then I had intended and I fear this would cause misunderstandings in main. What do you think, @Pearl1594, @DaanHoogland , @weizhouapache ?

Thanks @gp-santos I too faced this issue many times, We shouldn't reload the account creation form when domain is changed
I beleive its a valid improvement request

Fair Point @gp-santos - maybe if the role is Higher (say, Admin) than what the domain (ROOT/a) can accept, then we can make the change as before, else leave the user filled Role.

Seems good to me, @Pearl1594
However, I feel this should be on 4.23, would it be alright, @DaanHoogland, @winterhazel, @weizhouapache ?
Also, would you rather do it or may I assign this to myself, @Pearl1594 ?

@gp-santos I agree that it is better to address this in 4.23 already, so I'm changing the milestone.

I agree - it would be better to go into 4.23 - and if you want to work on the fix you can go ahead @gp-santos , no problem. I can help review.
