1. From the standard-checkin page Users check a content item into a specific folder and are brought the to the check-in confirmation page.

3. When the new check-in form is displayed, the folder field is cleared. After some analysis, it is seen that the folder GUID is not passed to the check-in confirmation page, which prevents it from being passed to the next check-in form.
