FORT-1016023 has been ‘Closed’ as a duplicate of an existing known issue. Origin Issue: FORT-1015348

The status of FORT-1015348 changed to ‘Needs Triage’. We’ve confirmed the issue and it’s waiting to be assigned to someone to fix it.

Contributing because they closed my issue regarding the Precision Airstrike being able to destroy Conditional Buttons claiming they couldn’t reproduce it. When I went to test it again thinking the might have inadvertently fixed it in 38.10 I found that I too couldn’t fire the Precision Airstrike. How can they claim that they couldn’t reproduce the issue if the thing doesn’t even work? I’m not so naive as to think they’re using the exact same build as us, but I literally showed video evidence.

This is still the issue after update to v39.00. Precision Air Strike is still not charging and firing, so it is completely useless right now.
