Description
Currently, a user is redirected to edit_user_path
(/users/*/edit) after creating a user. However, I think it is better to be redirected to user_path
(/users) for the following reasons:
- Inconsistent. There are some exceptions but most forms in Admin page shows index page after an object is created
- Confusing. Today I observed that an admin mistakenly rewrote the user that has just created. It is because they misunderstood that the form is /users/new, but it was actually /users/*/edit
- I cannot find any use cases that showing
edit_user_path
is better thanusers_path

- Target version changed from 4.2.0 to Candidate for next major release
Removing from 4.2.0 because always redirecting to the first page of the list may not be appropriate.
The current patch always redirects to the first page of the users list even though a newly created user may be displayed on the other page. I felt the behavior is strange while testing.
