Preserve auto-mapping entries after review scan revision is created

Background


In Manta 42.14.0, when a new revision is created, older entries from the Automapping screen that were created during previous scans, are deleted.


Why is this Problem


This is painful because when userA is reviewing auto-mapping entries, user B may run a scan and interrupt userA's work. This behavior introduces inefficiency. Users may still need to review automapped entries from previous scans to avoid deductions in the lineage generated by Manta. This issue becomes especially problematic when a scan produces hundreds of automapped entries. Manually reviewing all these entries is time-consuming.


Expected Behavior


Manta should retain auto-mapping entries from previous scans. A new scan should not delete them. Alternatively, auto-mapped entries from from the last 10 revisions should be preserved.
