There’s a little bug in the edit group dialog.
I can do the following:
1. check “Allow members to leave group freely”
2. check “Allow users to send membership requests to group owners”
This creates a group that someone can request to join, and then leave freely.
But if I instead try to do do the steps in reverse:
1. check “Allow users to send membership requests to group owners”
2. check “Allow members to leave group freely”
…I am unable to do step 2.
As a workaround, I can uncheck “Allow users to send membership requests to group owners” and then check them in the order that works.

To clarify, this is only an issue on the page at the route: `/groups/Foo/edit` not `/admin/groups/custom/Foo`
