Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a custom component and add a logic variable set to true by default:
test_component<public> := class<final_super>(component):
    var IsEnabled : logic := true
  1. Create a prefab that has a child entity containing the custom component.
  2. Create a custom device to spawn multiple prefabs:
custom_device := class(creative_device):
    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
        if (SimulationEntity := GetSimulationEntity[]):
            # Spawn 10 prefabs
            for(Index := 0..9):
                # Creating a new prefab instance and setting to device location
                CustomPrefab:Prefab_Custom := Prefab_Custom{}
                CustomPrefab.SetGlobalTransform(FromTransform(GetTransform())
                # Iterate over child entities to find the custom component
                for (EntityFound : CustomPrefab.GetEntities()):
                    if (TestComponent := EntityFound.GetComponent[test_component]):
                        if (TestComponent.IsEnabled = false):
                            Print("TestComponent.IsEnabled is false by default?")

Expected Result

IsEnabled would be set to true.

Observed Result

IsEnabled is set to false.

Additional Notes

I’m not sure if this is happening for default values of other types, if it is localized only to components, etc. Noticed this on a custom component and I am now checking other classes where we set default values for variables.
