Summary

Adding an @editable tag and removing it from a device makes it ‘glitched’ and asks for auto save every change.

Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Verse

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add to any device any @editable tag, e.g.:

    @editable
    EmptyHandVFX : visual_effect_powerup_device = visual_effect_powerup_device{}

  2. Add a value for this EmptyHandVFX (Make sure to do this), so selected a VFX powerup device

  3. Save your file

  4. Remove @editable from this device

  5. Your device is now in an infinite glitched state where it keeps asking to be resaved with almost every thing you do. E.g. launch session, or compile verse or verse refresh

Being unable to save devices on this state are to prevent data loss, and it happens when you edited something on the code, while the instance of the device on the world still has a reference to the old value stored…
