Custom files question

Hi all,
I'm trying to put together a scenario in a custom campaign that uses a different units.csv (currently, it just changes applicable unit types of target dummies from 'structure' to Infantry and Tank for the purpose of progressing medals in a training range). I've added the new Units.csv name to the custom files section in scenario params, and I have said file in the main folder of my campaign. I've tried a couple of methods for specifying it with a filepath (..\UnitsMod.csv, etc) in that window but I can't get the scenario to recognize the new file. Any tips?

If you make changes to the units.csv file, I don’t know if these changes are automatically taken into account in a scenario done with an older units.csv file ?

Pretty sure it just doesn't work.

Thought about that, editor still obviously loads with the unmodified file. I can get the changes I want, but only by modding the file that every in-game scenario uses. Trying to avoid that.

I'm suspecting this is the case, considering there's a separate field for special rules in global parameters in addition to the scenario params custom files section.

I believe the editor uses the equipment.pzdat file while the game uses the unit.csv file.
The editor has a command [a button actually] to load the equip file, and another to esport equip file to units file.

The devs added functionality for custom files a while back. See scenario parameters last tab. Just doesn't work properly.
