Expected results:
The changes should be saved.
Workaround:
1. Use a different browser (FF or Chrome)
2. Open the parameter for edit in a separate tab, not in the list itself. This can be done either by clicking the middle mouse button on the link, or by right clicking on the link and selecting "Open in new tab"

Fixes #18587, #18588 - Fix 'multipart form data' IE bug
According to this bug [1] multipart form data is malformed if there
are fields without names. It been solved within Edge browser, however
no solution is expected for IE10/IE11
It cause a failure with Rack - EOFError: bad content body, therefore
pages like domains and subnet create/edit cannot be submitted (and all
other forms which are submitted via ajax with multipart form data, and
an unnamed field within).
This is identical to https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/4125
but moves the workaround to an own helper function and calls the
function in every submit_or_cancel invocation, thus fixing all forms
which use the two-pane layout.
