Editor forgets custom map data source
URL
No response
How to reproduce the issue?
Open iD Add URL to URL box for custom map data source End editing session and leave iD editor (can close tab, or just click on "openstreetmap" logo) Go back to iD editor and click on custom map data source Custom URL box is empty.
Screenshot(s) or anything else?
Previously (assume previous release), a custom map data URL would remain in the URL box. This allowed users to open up the same custom map data without re-pasting in the URL.
However, now (presumably due to this latest release) the custom URL is not saved in the URL box between editing sessions.
Assuming this isn't an issue my end, this seems like a regression in functionality.

Released version at openstreetmap.org/edit

Just to note that custom background URL is remembered across editing sessions.
Hey! Given the last comment I will close this because I am quite sure the feature does work. Please re-open in case there is still an issue.
FYI: If you use the prerelease version of iD from https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/?tab=readme-ov-file#participate, you will be able to bookmark a custom imagery URL because that is part of the URL then.
There is https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/3033 which tried to improve the UX on the website to also have this feature…
@tordans The issue is about custom map data URL. The inconsistency is that the custom background URL is remembered while the custom map data URL isn't.
Yeah, it would make sense for the custom map data to behave similarly like the custom map background functionality. I.e. that it remembers the last used endpoint. Slightly related: it is also irritating that the custom map data input field is cleared every time the modal window is opened.
//edit: it might also make sense to allow loading of gpx, geojson, etc. via an URL.
