Subject of the issue

I don't know if it's a Bitwarden or Vaultwarden bug but if in doubt I post it here, because I couldn't test it on Bitwarden.

The problem is a bad selection of the default owner when creating an item in a collection. This is more an enhancement request than a bug to improve the final user experience.

Deployment environment

Diag:

vaultwarden version: 1.28.1
Install method: Installation from releases and with a compilation
Clients used: Browser (firefox, chrome)
Reverse proxy and version: haproxy

Steps to reproduce

Go to the Vaultwarden home page
Check that we are in "All vaults".
Select a collection
Create an item in this collection

Expected behaviour

It would be better if the selected owner is the organization and the collection where I am is selected.

Kind of like if I did this:

Go to the Vaultwarden home page
Check that we are in my needed organization "Outsourcing" at the top
Select the collection
Create an item in the collection

We can see here that the owner is the organization and that the right collection is selected

Screenshot:

Actual behaviour

The default owner is my user "noc..":
