 - ✅You should not be able to select a user for content attribution that
 will be deleted
 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IqpQ7-I9RiPp1-O3T7OSHLMnBddjLdkH/view?usp=sharing
 - ✅No default selection for content attribution, so you have to actively
 decide what should happen.

 No idea why it worked before on a previous test when I did not run: npm
 run build:dev, besides, in previous tests sometimes it works sometimes it
 does not, but when I did this screencast it worked
