Summary
I’m confused why the FAB listing ID is different in various places. Isn’t this ID supposed to be the same everywhere?
Take my product “Asset Naming” as example:
Seller side URL to edit the listing (note ID 63c64722-eaf8-4061-90ad-e1c4fcfe5851):
https://www.fab.com/portal/listings/63c64722-eaf8-4061-90ad-e1c4fcfe5851/edit
Buyer side URL to visit the listing (note ID 48b8e974-0b74-4b2d-bdfb-becb6ba6b4d5):
The uplugin file for this plugin (note ID 63c64722-eaf8-4061-90ad-e1c4fcfe5851):
“FabURL”: “com.epicgames.launcher://ue/Fab/product/63c64722-eaf8-4061-90ad-e1c4fcfe5851”,
The ID mismatch:
- 48b8e974-0b74-4b2d-bdfb-becb6ba6b4d5
- 63c64722-eaf8-4061-90ad-e1c4fcfe5851
Tell me this is “normal” and that FAB’s backend isn’t corrupting on me?
Why do buyers get to see two different IDs, one in the URL and one in the .uplugin?
Would this affect the availability of the plugin files from the launcher environment?

Steps to Reproduce
Look at the summary. I describe how there seems to be an ID mismatch for FAB listings which look abnormal.
Expected Result
I expect the IDs to remain the same. I use them to build URLs on my website. Having multiple IDs seems abnormal, is confusing and might mean they can change at any time.
Observed Result
FAB listing IDs mismatch in several places.
