Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

If I'm editing an existing item in collections and click "Save As", the collection that I'm working on is not selected by default. This is a handy feature to have, if I'm creating multiple REST items (create, show, update, destroy) I have to keep selecting the same collection everytime I choose "Save As"

Why should this be worked on?

It would be convenient for people trying to make items in same collection and not have to choose it every time.
