After importing MCDF or Chara file, Brio doesn't recognize changes to the customization

[TRNR-Kelly]

When applying an MCDF or Chara file to either a spawned or already available character, brio's advanced customization does not recognize there has been a change and keeps the old customizations. Attempting to change anything from there resets the character to how it was before you made the change, most often completely removing the imported character to replace it with your default character.

note that, while not shown in the attached video, this was also tested with ktisis disabled, which made no difference.

This seems like somewhere in the Brio code is calling a reset function which reverts changes made via a MCDF/Chara file. Might see it on my end later if I have time with a Chara file as I don't use Mare nor have any MCDFs on hand.

This is normal and correct behavior; you cannot edit an actor that has an MDCF applied, I will have to investigate what's going on with .chara files

Just tried replicating the same steps as Kelly did just now on a Chara file with the current 0.5.0.2 code and it seems Chara file are fine. I just imported a saved Chara file I had laying about and went to Advanced and changed the shoes and the character didn't seem to change. Sill suggest you check it but seems it might be fine? @Minmoose

Confirmed, thanks @Bronya-Rand! Yes everything here is working as intended!
