I experience that behavior too. My package version(s): networkmanager-openconnect 1.2.5dev+110+g524a2e0-2, openconnect 1:8.02-1, networkmanager 1.18.0-1.

Comparing the nmconnection file with one on a machiene where group/username is properly saving, it looks like the any details in the [vpn-secrets] section is not being saved.
This includes
* `certificate`
* `form:main:group_list`
* `form:main:username`
* `save_passwords`

`lasthost` is being saved However. but that is about it.

In my case, group and username are saved but not the password. Although "Store passwords" is checked.

networkmanager 1.20.2-1
networkmanager-openconnect 1.2.6-1
openconnect 1:8.05-1

Just an update here, I am still experiencing this. Password is saved. (yay!) but the usernameGroup/username is not.

I am currently running version 1.2.6-1.

It works as a workaround to manually edit the file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/????.nmconnection and add the key under [vpn-secrets] (key-names as @jonnyeom wrote them)

Just as a reference, there has been tickets created for both gnome-shell and networkmanager
gnome-shell - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2105
network-manager - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/328

As a current workaround,
```
nmcli con mod VPNNAME vpn.secrets 'form:main:group_list=GROUPNAME','form:main:username=USERNAME','save_passwords=yes'
```

Both upstream linked reports have been closed. Is this issue still valid for you?
