[midPoint] How to properly edit ressource

[Ivan Noris]

Hi Vincent,

I have confirmed the problem of editing resource (or any object) using
Repository objects editor ("Debug pages") and adding namespaces:
https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-1956
This issue is targeted to 3.4 (earliest midPoint version to be released).

Reimporting XML object from file seems to not be influenced (as we use
it very often).

I will try to have some time for the wizard test.

Best regards,
Ivan
