Note: this happens with any interface or superclass from devices, some other examples (but not all) are:

  • powerup_device (abstract base class)
  • creative_device_base
  • creative_object
  • creative_object_interface
    (…)

And other common interfaces:

  • positional
  • invalidatable
  • enableable

On the interfaces above, works fine with classes made by us, all these issues only breaks when we select device types/classes from the editable dropdowns. It should work, but does not. This is a very old issue (maybe v36.00 or even older iirc)
