Description Jaxsun McCarthy Huggan CLA 2013-07-23 12:21:14 EDT 
When validating repository settings a temporary @TaskRepository@ object is created and has the current unsaved settings applied to it. If a repository settings page calls the super method of @applyTo@ to apply common settings to the provided repository the credentials associated with the repository's URL are overwritten in the platform storage. Because of this hitting cancel after validating settings results in the repository's credentials being altered even though no finish or save action was triggered. Connectors can avoid this by caching the old credentials when applying settings to the @TaskRepository@ however this should not be a necessary step. 

This issue exists in the Bugzilla connector's settings page as well as many 3rd party connectors.
