Cannot submit site information form with empty front page field

This issue is being reviewed by the kind folks in Slack, #needs-review-queue-initiative. We are working to keep the size of Needs Review queue [2700+ issues] to around 400 (1 month or less), following Review a patch or merge request → as a guide.

Reroll looks good and issue is still addressed.

The issue summary is a statement of the problem. There is no indication of the proposed resolution.

I then went to apply the patch. I see that is against 9.4, which is in security support. The patch applied to 10.1.x so I tested it using the steps in the issue summary.

With the patch, it is now possible to save the basic sites settings page with an empty field for the default front page. I then looked at the system.site configuration.

$ ddev drush cget system.site
_core:
  default_config_hash: VDJxTZtQR21qB4lvOq8zszJZLvLKrSPQpdn2E3T71Ww
langcode: en
uuid: 76eacedf-7cf4-4707-86c7-c478fe9ef9f6
name: dev2-web
mail: v@example.com
slogan: ''
page:
  403: ''
  404: ''
  front: /user/login
admin_compact_mode: false
weight_select_max: 100
default_langcode: en

The front page path has not changed and we have the UI showing incorrect information. I then used the UI to change the the front page configuration to an empty string. I confirmed the change with drush front: ''. On navigating to the front page, I get a 404.

I don't know if that is the intended behavior. But having the UI and the stored configuration out of sync is wrong.

I am adding a tag for an issue summary update and setting back to needs work.

Re-Roll the Patch For 10.1 by #41.

#46 was unnecessary as patch 41 still applied to D10 hiding patch.

Also please include an interdiff with all patches

I forgot that I commented on this issue before. I propose simplifying this setting and making the field required over in 📌 Make default front page setting required and remove special case of /user/login Fixed - this would mean this issue is no longer required.
