Fields are deleted when saving Style Editor schema on a Content Type

[dario-daza]

Problem Statement

When a user creates a Content Type, adds fields to it, and then saves a Style Editor schema from the Style Editor tab, all previously added fields are unexpectedly removed from the Content Type.

Multiple toast notifications appear during the save: "CleanUpFieldReferencesJob finished for field: [fieldName]" — one per deleted field. After refreshing the page, the Content Type has no fields left.

This makes it impossible to define a Style Editor schema on a Content Type that already has fields without losing all of them.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Content Type
2. Add one or more fields to it (e.g. Text, Custom Field)
3. Navigate to the Style Editor tab of the same Content Type
4. Define a Style Editor schema and click Save
5. Refresh the page

Acceptance Criteria

• Saving a Style Editor schema from the Style Editor tab does not delete any fields previously added to the Content Type
• No "CleanUpFieldReferencesJob" toasts appear when saving only the Style Editor schema
• After saving and refreshing, all fields added before the Style Editor save remain intact
