Bug Description
3.9, Chrome
If you modify the 'preferred library' in Staff Catalog > Catalog Preferences, it will automatically change the 'preferred library' in Administration > Workstation.
If you modify the 'preferred library' in Administration > Workstation, it will NOT change the preferred library in Staff Catalog > Catalog Preferences.
It does work correctly in 3.7.1 (preferred library changes at either location regardless of which was changed first).
I attempted to use the Empty Cache/Hard Reload - didn't work. I thought it worked by changing the 'preferred library' from Administration > Workstation, going to the home/portal page, then to Advanced Catalog > Catalog Preferences, but I don't think it happens each time.
I expect the preferred library to match between Staff Catalog > Catalog Preferences and Workstation settings regardless of which was modified first.

Occurs in 3.10 as well, and also affects the Default Library. I also tested deleting values from Search Preferences to see if the subsequent values input in Workstation > Administration would carry over, but they didn't. In this case, though, clearing cache did reset to the Workstation > Administration values.
I tested another scenario on a new workstation where the Default and Preferred had not been set in either place. If I clicked on Search Preferences first but did not input any values, and then made changes in Workstation > Administration, the changes would not carry through, so in this case, it may appear to the user that there is a bug with Workstation > Administration settings. Search Preferences automatically update as soon as you open the page so there's not a way to avoid saving the null values in this scenario.
