[BUG] Button press actions disappeared when restoring from an older V3.* to 3.5*

[pixelwiz]

Is this a bug in companion itself or a module?

• I believe this to be a bug in companion

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

Hi, I had some custom button actions written using variables to work with an Atem video switcher to cycle through video inputs and picture in picture placement, but when I updated to the 3.5* version and restored the backup, the button is there, but the press actions using the function and the variable is gone. Can I get them back?

I noticed the upgrade from 3.4.x to 3.5.x was pretty major. Delays went away and were replaced by wait. The abort function completely changed. Much of my programming had to be redone. Unfortunately when you upgrade it re-writes your code and you can't go backwards... however, old version of Companion are available on the website and if you look in your Companion system folder, you may find old version of your last 3.4.x (or whatever) companion files... If you have these, you may be able to go back to them... What I have learned is that it's always a good idea to BACKUP your whole configuration before updating the s/w. I only had to learn that lesson once the hard way....

It shouldnt have, what changed about it for you?

Not the case, the previous config is left untouched, simply launching the old version will load the old config. At this point each version will be running its own version of your config, so going forward again won't auto-import everything.

I'm not able to reproduce any issues with importing a config from 3.0.1.
