Problem

Also, when attempting to save a connection object, without going to the 'add location/buckets', it gives no errors and go back to the Cloud Object Storage page without creating the connection.

Symptom
During creating a new connection:
If you attempt to 'create and finish' you will go to the main page with no object created.
If you click 'create and continue' you won't be able to select a bucket.
If an admin has already created the connection and you attempt to add a new location, you will get error popup 'cmNoWrite'.
