Verse

Steps to Reproduce

  3. UEFN prompts to set this Verse path.
  4. Enter /timusta@fortnite.com/italianmafia and click Set Verse Path.
  5. Close and reopen the project.

Expected Result

UEFN should save the correct Verse path in the project sys metadata and stop showing the prompt.

It restores the old path /ti_musta@fortnite.com/italianmafia in the local .uefnproject and .uplugin files every time.
