What is the issue you are experiencing?

I added about 30 URLs for several recipes by using Recipe Bulk Importer and selecting the New button for each url. Afterwards, I was trying to save the URLs to the recipe list and clicked the Bulk Add button, thinking it would add several URLs to the recipe list in a bulk fashion. Instead, clicking Save actually deleted the list of items I had added. This can be frustrating for the user to have several links deleted. It should have either a confirmation to ensure the user knows the follow-on action, or add any items to a list that has been started, or if you don't paste anything in the Bulk add list, it should error out saying you didn't paste any recipes. Attention to these details will make this a more enjoyable process.

Steps to Reproduce

1 - Click Create > Import > Bulk URL Import
2 - Past recipe URL in the field > Select New
3 - Paste a new recipe in the URL.
4 - Repeat steps 2 and 3 multiple times.
5 - Select Bulk Add > Do not enter details. Click Save.
