When opening a Character prefab in the World Editor, if it has an item with a modified texture, it will swap the texture to the base texture. This breaks/changes GM Asset Image Previews and is frustrating to deal with.

Example:
This Character Prefab is using all Vanilla gear for its loadout/uniform. It has the M81 camo BDU and the green M65 Pants. In Resource browser viewer, the character is correct:

When opened via "Edit Prefab" into the World Editor, the pants change color to the base version despite being correctly set in the Base Loadout Manager Component

I was told to check/disable Variants in the SCR_EditableCharacterComponent but that has always been set to "set class"

Changing anything related to that slot will reset it temporarily (unchecking Enabled for example), as does setting a class for Variants, then resetting it to no value, but on a save and load, when viewed in World Editor again it has gone back to the wrong color.

The issue persists through testing in a Scenario in World Editor, such as GM Arland:

The pants have the correct name but the wrong texture.

I am unsure if this also happens for other prefab types, I've only experienced it with Characters, and to some extent with some items' preview images in an arsenal box:

I have not yet tested if the items are correct in game one the mod has been uploaded to the Workshop.
