Devices in UEFN become UNUSABLE and revert to using channels (like Creative 1.0)

Summary

The devices revert to using the outdated Creative 1.0 channel’s version (even though I’m using UEFN) in Live Edit after starting the game or pushing changes. This makes them unusable. When I first started using UEFN, I converted my first island from 1.0 to 2.0, and the bug appeared on that island. The problem is that now all island (even those created with 2.0) are affected by this issue.

Steps to Reproduce

    1. Make a 1.0 Creative Island.
    2. Place some devices and convert to 2.0.
    3. Start/push changes in the converted Island.
    4. If nothing happens make another brand-new 2.0 UEFN Island and re-do the Step 2 and 3.

The devices should be using the Functions/Events mode and not the obsolete one with channels.

Observed Result

All devices revert to using the legacy version with channels.
