Cannot rename a new channel created from VFO

The channel is created in VFO and then made into a new channel in a zone. When I edit the name, the name won't stick after I navigate to another channel. So it seems to be an error saving the changes. Also related, I could only create a new DMR channel. The option to make a new channel did not appear without the VFO in DMR mode.

Like all other editions, you need to press SK2 + GREEN for permanent storage.

FYI
We have to use SK2 + Green, otherwise if the operator changes the squelch or power on a channel, while operating the radio, then goes into the Channel Details screen and inadvertently presses Green to exit that screen, they would end up setting a squelch or power level override for that channel, if it was saved to the coxelug simply by pressing the Green button.
This leads to a load of confusion.
Hence using SK2 + Green forces the operator to need to make a conscious decision to update the codeplug.
BTW. The VFOs are handled differently to channels.
