Can't save boxes in new workspace + shader code not being saved

[jharaldson]

This is relevant to the case where we use the database to save the workspace.

Scenario 1:
Create a new workspace.
Create a box.
Save.

When opening the workspace there is no box visible.

Scenario 2:
Open existing workspace.
Add shader code to box.
Save.

When opening workspace there is no shader code attached.
