[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Unexpected behavior in v.3.0.2?

Hello list!

We are in the process of upgrading to v.3.0.2, and noticed a few unusual
details that I'm hoping to get some more information about. Neither would
be deal-breakers to upgrading, but I'm curious if these are intended or
perhaps bugs. We first noticed these in our local development instance, but
I've been able to replicate them in the community sandbox.

When I create a new agent record -- either on its own via "Create -- Agent"
or within the context of an accession or resource record, the "Publish"
checkbox defaults to false. This is new behavior to us, and I'm curious if
this is intended (and if so, if there is a way to locally alter this so
that new agents default to Publish=True)?

We also saw some potentially buggy behavior with the "sticky" parameters
when browsing for containers. For example, when starting from a resource
record and browsing for a container, Manage Top Containers pre-populates
the interface with my resource record so that only containers linked to it
are listed:

If I want to browse for a shared box, for example, I want to clear the
resource field and instead do a container search with a keyword (this
screenshot shows my edits to the parameters before selecting "Search"):

But as soon as I select "Search" my original resource record is re-inserted
into the parameters although it doesn't actually seem to be impacting the
search results:

I'd be happy to put together a JIRA ticket for either of these issues, but
first wanted to see if others had insight before doing so.

Thanks so much. Take care,
