Edit Connection form crashes silently when connection has invalid extra JSON #66591

Description

Under which category would you file this issue?

Airflow Core

Apache Airflow version

3.2.1

What happened and how to reproduce it?

I have found that the JSON.parse() function call in ConnectionForm.tsx on line
85 does not have a try-catch block around it:
setConf(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(initialConnection.extra), undefined, 2));
Thus, any connections with invalid JSON inside the extra object will cause
an exception to be thrown when opening the form. This issue can be easily
solved using the code from line 103 to 110 in the same file.
Reproducibility:

  1. Create a new connection with invalid JSON inside the extra object
  2. Attempt to open Edit Connection form

What you think should happen instead?

Edit form should work properly.
