Annotations on empty entries in notebook are lost

[davetsay]

Summary

Entries do not get persisted until text is entered. If you create a blank entry, then add an annotation/tag to it, then navigate away, the blank entry is removed and there is a misleading indication that the tag is attached to something.

Expected vs Current Behavior

Either the tag is also removed from view, or blank entries can be persisted. @charlesh88 , what say you?

Steps to Reproduce

1. create and navigate to a notebook
2. click + to add an entry
3. click on the entry element
4. click on the annotations tab in inspector
5. add an annotation/tab
6. observe the blank entry is removed from view and the tag in inspector is still displayed

Environment

• Open MCT Version: master
• Deployment Type:

Impact Check List

• Data loss or misrepresented data?
• [] Regression? Did this used to work or has it always been broken?
• [] Is there a workaround available?
• [] Does this impact a critical component?
• Is this just a visual bug with no functional impact?
• [] Does this block the execution of e2e tests?
• [] Does this have an impact on Performance?

@unlikelyzero I think these are slightly different issues. One is you have to select an entry when creating a new one. The second is if you've made an entry without text, tag it, and click away, we delete the entry underneath it (and the tags now point to nothing).
