Island matchmaking privacy settings is not working

Summary

Hi, in Fortnite Creative I set Matchmaking Privacy to Party Choice. Then I ran Memory Calculation and published my island. After publishing, the setting in Island Settings automatically changes back to Public.

Is this a bug, or is there a way to keep Matchmaking Privacy set to Party Choice after publishing?

This happens every time I try to publish the island. I have tried setting Matchmaking Privacy to “Party Choice” again, but after Memory Calculation and publishing, it changes back to “Public”. The issue does not cause the game or UEFN to crash.
