Describe the bug

Very minor / cleanup suggestion.

The "back" button shown below in user settings always takes you to the global redirect URL, which in our case is the homepage. It does not appear to be configurable.

It so happens that the settings update on our end is initiated somewhere other than the homepage, so suggesting that the link will take the user "back" is inaccurate for us. I expected Post-Settings Redirect to apply here, but I understand if it has to be a new setting since this isn't really a "post" redirect.

Thanks for the report, the button always leads to the return_to of the flow, or the global redirect URI. This ensures that the user never ends up in a loop, because the previous page was some kind of auth screen, with a now invalidated flow.

I agree, we should probably add the Post-Settings Redirect setting, and use that if no return_to was specified in the flow.
