Description

The Cancel button in the Create Task form links to Maniphest, rather than taking you back to whatever page you were previously on.

Steps to reproduce:

Actual result:
You end up on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/.

Expected result:
You end up on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/, since that was the previous page.

This is defined in https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge/browse/master/src/applications/transactions/editengine/PhabricatorEditEngine.php$561-563 :
protected function getObjectCreateCancelURI($object) does return $this->getApplication()->getApplicationURI();.

I don't even see what's a reliable and secure technical approach to implement this proposal, if I interpret correctly https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5285031/back-to-previous-page-with-header-location-in-php . Any opinions / recommendations?

Folks are free to use the "Back" button of their browser, I'd say. I don't see how the current behavior is a bug...
