Unable to change the environment on a repository that is shared by all in Projects

Problem description: Currently when we create two projects and have a repository shared between all the projects. If we edit the repository configuration in the Projects view and modify the repository environment from Dev to Prod and save the changes, on checking back we still see that it has Dev environment set. So looks like the change is not applied. 

What is the expected behavior? The environment change should be saved

Steps to reproduce: 
1. Log into Artifactory, create two projects
2. Share a test local repository between all the projects
3. Select a project admin view.
4. Select the Repositories tab from the Project admin view.
5. Select a repo that is shared with all repos (not a repo that is directory created for this project)
6. Change the Environments from "Dev" to "Prod" and Save changes
7. Select that exact same Repo, and you will see that it is back to "Dev"
