Stack of dialogs is closed on autosave

[mrvecka]

Describe the Bug

When relationship field has similar configuration

   {
      name: 'category',
      type: 'relationship',
      relationTo: 'categories',
      admin: {
        position: 'sidebar',
        appearance: 'drawer', // important
      },
    }

And you try to create new category document, both drawers are closed.
First click will open drawer to select document. In that drawer click to create new document which opens new drawer. On save both drawers are closed. In case collection has versions enabled, the autosave action will close both dialogs. Check the recording.

More info:
Category collection is versioned.
The issue persist even if collection isn't versioned. Drawers are closed on save.
