"Add Service" modal stuck in "Service Already Present" state

[Jan877]

@lidel's summary of the underlying bug

See #1816 (comment)

Original report

• OS: Windows 10
• Version of IPFS Desktop: 2.12.3

Describe the bug
By mistake, I removed the Pinning Service Pinata. I was playing around with another pinning service. However, I decided I wanted to redownload Pinata. I got a message in IPFS : "Service Already Present." but I was not able to add Pinata in the list over pinning services. The only pinning service I can see is Local node.
.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Settings | IPFS'
2. Click on 'Add Service'
3. Enter Pinata API endpoint and password
4. The message "Service Already Present" is shown and Pinata isn't added to IPFS

Expected behavior
I expected to be able to add Pinata in IPFS again, although I had deleted it by mistake

Screenshots
Please see attachment.

Additional context
N/A.

Thank you @Jan877 – It is a bug in GUI.
You can work around this by closing modal via "Cancel" and then trying to "Add Service" again, using a unique name, before pressing "Save" for the first time.

How to Reproduce

I was able to reproduce. There seems to be a bug where it is impossible to submit the form after name change.

1. Add Pinata
2. Try to add it again under same name, there will be "Service Already Present: error:

   
   and expected error logged in console:
   

3. In the same modal, change nickname to something unique and try to submit again. Nothing happens, the old error is still displayed, there is no new error in console:

Hello lidel,
I followed your instructions for the work around. I used a unique name. Saved the name and then entered the "API endpoint" and "Secret Access Token".
However, the new unique name was still not added to the list over Pinning Services. The only pinning service that is shown is "Local Pinning".
