deploy prometheus operator from UI

Description of problem:
admin user, create one project, and go to console "Opeators -> OpeatorHub", find Prometheus Operator, deploy it under user namespace,
# oc -n test get po
NAME                                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
prometheus-operator-7bfb4f858f-l4ww5   1/1     Running   0          69s

then go to "Opeators -> Installed Operators", click Prometheus Operator, create prometheus instance from the Details page, add one invalid setting, evaluationInterval: "30" to the config file, see:
# oc -n test get prometheus example -oyaml

update to correct value
# oc -n test get prometheus example -oyaml | grep evaluationInterval
  evaluationInterval: 30s

still the same error

workaroud is delete sts prometheus-example, and let the pod recreated
# oc -n test delete sts prometheus-example
statefulset.apps "prometheus-example" deleted

# oc -n test get po
