Screenshot of the subcluster list

When adding a new subcluster using Web Admin, and there already is a subcluster named "NewSubcluster", both the old and new subcluster-details is shown. 

When saving the new subcluster, also named "NewSubcluster", it will overwrite the old one.

This does not happen with other names than the default "NewSubcluster".

The page "Application Groups" has an issue on the same theme. 

If you have a group with the default name "New group" and then add a new group, you will not get a new group. You are presented with the details for the old "New group".

I looked at all other pages where you can add new entries, and they all have different ways to solve this.

Update: it actually doesn't matter what the second subcluster is named, it will always overwrite the existing subcluster named "NewSubcluster".

Since bug 8075 we no longer get two forms. Only one popup is shown instead.

However, the issue remains that the existing item is overwritten despite the user pressing the "Add new.."-button.
