Auto-selects labels created in dropdown
What does this MR do and why?
Automatically selects labels created through the dropdown using "Create new label" and clears the search to return to a selection state. Previously, label was created but not selected. Selection is not saved until dropdown is closed (no change in behavior).
This completes the flow started in Pre-fill create label form (!116590 - merged)
What does this MR not do and why?
- This does not attempt to change the behavior when using the non-sidebar component, such as on the New Issue form or MR form.
- This is a different component built in HAML
