(2.23.0alpha6) Changing the deck in the "Deck" field of the Image Occlusion editor doesn't make the new note to be added to the selected deck

Checked for duplicates?

• This issue is not a duplicate

Does it also happen in the desktop version?

• This bug does not occur in the latest version of Anki Desktop

What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

1. Share an image in File Explorer
2. Select "Anki", then select "Image Occlusion"
3. Select a deck while in the Image Occlusion editor
4. The new note is stored in the last deck that was studied instead of the deck that was selected in the Image Occlusion editor

The two videos below show the described behavior.

In the first video below, I select "my-deck-1" to study. Then, switch to a file explorer and share an image with Anki using the option "Image Occlusion". In the Image Occlusion editor, I add a rectangle and then change the deck to "my-deck-4". Then, I press the check button on the top right corner to create the note. When I go back to the home screen, you can see that the note counter for my-deck-1 increased from 3 to 4. This was because the Image Occlusion note was added to "my-deck-1". Afterwards, I open the "Card browser" to show that the Image Occlusion card was actually added to "my-deck-1".

In the second video below, I followed the same steps, but instead of studying "my-deck-1". I studied "my-deck-3" which caused the card to be added "my-deck-3" instead of "my-deck-4" which was selected in the Image Occlusion editor.

Expected behaviour

The new note should be added to the deck that was selected in the deck field of the Image Occlusion editor.

@lukstbit FYI

(I've got free time to allocate today; this would be my first priority and I'm more than happy to take this on)

[lukstbit]

@david-allison I will only be able to look at this in a few hours.
It's not something related to my code, it's related to the set notetype I think(this intent bypasses NoteEditorFragment).

Cheers, not urgent, I'll take it on

@criticalAY I've been unable to reproduce this as OP reported, could you have a second look.

• Related: feat: select an arbitrary deck when sharing an image to Image Occlusion #19259

There is a bug, but it's lower priority:

• Share as 'Image Occlusion'
• Change Deck
• Save without adding a mask
• The deck is reset in the ViewModel, without it being reset in the UI
  • onSaveOperationCompleted is called, even though the save operation failed
