Conditional Examines vanishes ... even when still there

Hi, since this problem occured to me now for the third time on different chars as well:

I have written conditional examins for my characters. That worked just fine ... Now I wanted to change some things in it, when I rightclick on my character and clicking on conditional examine for a moment (a second or so) it shows the correct text ... then it vanishes and he tells me that it is empty and all the startup text ... when I click on 'examine' or 'raw text' it shows still the correct text ... but when I wanted to change anything I have to again type everything else again as well cause in the text window everything is gone.

This really is not funny to do over and over again. No idea why that happens and why it only happens to some and different chars. If you have any idea how to fix that it would be great :)

As info, a relog and such doesn't change the problem, once it occurs the text in the conditional examine is gone for good even when still saved ((why the examine and everything still works)).

Thanks in advance

... Which slot are you putting them in? Slot 1 is... unreliable. Has been since before I started playing in 2019.

I'll dig around in the database, see if there's any chance of rewriting them to Slot 2 for you.

I've noticed this issue, too. After losing my examine in slot 1, I began using another slot. Now, when I go to change things, it's not there. But the examine is working when I use the tool to look at it myself, or when others examine me.

The first slot sometimes resets itself under unclear circumstances. Put it in any other slot to mitigate this, though it's not exactly that reliable either and might end up getting wiped out of nowhere.

As a few others have mentioned, slot 1 is very temperamental and should be avoided.

There is also a guide here if need be, though do feel free to reach out if in need of additional assistance!
