Request to Merge New Project With Old Island Version for Continuous Updates

Summary

My original UEFN project lost its link to the old Island ID after a 30-day ban. Publishing now creates a new Version 1 island instead of updating the existing one.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Unreal Revision Control

Steps to Reproduce

Open original UEFN project folder (/aidn@fortnite.com/Realistic_1_vs_1/).

Make changes and publish through Creator Portal.

Island publishes as a new project, Version 1, instead of updating the existing island.

Old metadata and IARC are missing.

Expected Result

I expect my current UEFN project to be linked back to my original island ID so updates continue from the latest version, preserving all metadata and IARC

Observed Result

When publishing from my original UEFN project, the island is created as a new project (Version 1), losing the original Island ID, versions, description, and IARC rating

Platform(s)

Additional Notes

The project folder is my original work. The issue likely occurred after my 30-day Fortnite ban, which I believe was unfair because I played with a cheater I met in Looking For Party. I want to continue updating the existing island without starting over from Version 1. Ive added v1 and v75 images for more clarity.
