Problems with new version of Equipment editor

I have made a number of designated custom units to add to my equipment list. For that reason I do not want them to be awarded as bonus or be non-purchase units. They are one of a kind and intended to be so.

The modifications were very carefully done more than once and I have checked them repeatedly against the original equipment list. The units show up when I load a game except for the ones that are not available yet due to date of being available OR maybe because they cannot be purchased. I have gone throught this list again and again and for some reason when I attempt to edit the list to the correct features, these units continue to retain the features I DO NOT WANT and I have designated them as traits to be removed many many times. I always commit the unit, then save on EACH Unit. But this does not change. I cannot get rid of these traits on these and other units that are on the original list of equipment.

Is anyone having this difficulty with custom units or removing traits you do not want on original equipment list units?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What new editor?

There isn't any new editor.

I think the OP is talking about the one that Mark Garrett has made. It's not official - there is a thread for the editor on this forum.

First the obvious question. When testing your changes in game... are you loading previous scenarios and campaigns, or starting them through 'new game'?
Any changes made to the equipment editor will not affect saved game or multiplayer games currently in progress, only newly started scenarios and campaigns will be affected.

If this isn't your problem, then you are probably best off following El Condoro's link and asking questions there because your issue is mostly likely involving the custom editor.
