Why not use a separate connection for this instead?

You can easily achieve this by having a connection called "Manual" for
the static IP setting, and another "Automatic" or whatever for automatic
IP addressing.

This is not a bug; closing as Invalid.

Title:
  Save IP in manual IPv4 settings

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When I go to network connections, and select a particular connection,
  and go to edit., in the IPv4 tab, I need to often switch between
  automatic, and manual config. It would be convinient that if i choose
  manual and enter a IP, it gets saved. If I go to automatic later on,
  and switch back to manual, it should have the manual IP i had
  initially typed, as the default manual ip. This should be instead of
  requiring me to typing out the desired ipagain.
