Can't "Apply" after deselecting "Connect automatically" in Wi-Fi Settings

[Josiah Luscher]

On previous versions of Ubuntu after successfully creating a Wi-Fi connection I could reopen the settings for the network, deselect "Connect automatically" and "Make available to other users" then click on Apply and these settings would say saved.

When initially creating the the Wi-Fi connection there is no opportunity to deselect "Connect automatically" or "Make available to other users" these settings can normally only be deselected after creating the connection and reopening the network settings window.

On this brand new and updated installation of 20.04.3 LTS I am able to deselect the check boxes; but the Apply button is grayed out, and clicking on it has no effect.

In a terminal I can issue the command:
nmcli connection modify {NETWORKNAME} connection.autoconnect no

After rebooting the "Connect automatically" check box shows up as deselected.

I think this is a bug, the user should be able to deselect these settings and save the change by clicking apply. Also possibly opening the settings window should check for changes without requiring a reboot, but that's a secondary problem.

 - Thank you!
