fix(ui): make relationship fields update the collection when it is changed in the drawer dropdown (#10338)

To reproduce the bug:
1. Within a Lexical editor, insert a relationship field.
2. In the drawer, change the selected collection.
3. The table below changes correctly, but the title and the "create new"
button quickly revert to the original option.
