Issue

When editing AOW workflows. If a user saves the form before the actions are populated with their configuration, the configuration for these actions would be wiped.

Expected Behavior

AOW Workflows to not wipe actions on save.

Actual Behavior

AOW Workflows actions are blank after saving workflow.

Possible Fix

remove javascript init dependency.
it should be possible to dump the configuration into HTML using a smarty template, so all this information is available at page load OR prevent saving the record until all items are ready.
tbh round trips to server is typically a terrible idea.

Steps to Reproduce

create a workflow with actions
edit workflow and save workflow before action config populates
