Pangolin Version

v1.7.3 Community Edition

Describe the Bug

When I create a Resource for a subdomain (e.g. nextcloud.profloors.cloud) via the UI:

The UI lets me type/select the subdomain during resource creation.
In the resource list and after saving, it always shows the root domain (e.g. https://profloors.cloud).
The resource URL never updates to the correct subdomain.
Accessing the subdomain from WAN does not work; only root domain seems to map.
I have verified my DNS is correct (wildcard A record and required entries).

Steps to Reproduce

Set up Pangolin with wildcard DNS.
Add a resource using nextcloud.profloors.cloud as the domain.
Save and observe the Resource page still lists only the root domain.
Try to access nextcloud.profloors.cloud from WAN — results in 404 or server not found.
Editing the resource and re-saving does not fix the mapping.

What I Tried

Deleting and recreating the resource.
Removing all but wildcard/pangolin A records from DNS.
Manually editing resource via UI and restarting service.
Verified that config file does not have the subdomain (see below).

What Should Happen

The UI and backend should retain the full subdomain for the resource, and allow access via that subdomain, not just the root domain.

Notes

I have reviewed docs and several YouTube tutorials — subdomains are claimed to work with only wildcard DNS and a single A record.
No similar open Github issues found for 1.7.3, but community mentions on Reddit/YouTube.

Thanks for your help! Let me know if you need config, logs, or additional testing.
