Description

It looks like this occurs when the grandchild instance window is open. If you close and reopen the Grandchild's window the parameter appears as expected. I've attached a project with the setup steps completed for the above repro.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new material named M_Parent
  2. In that material create a new StaticSwitchParameter named ignore-Switch
  3. Create two scalars, one set to 0 and the other set to 1
  4. Connect the 1 value to the True input of ignore-Switch
  5. Connect the 0 value to the False input of ignore-Switch
  6. Connect the output of ignore-Switch to Emissive
  7. Save and Apply the material
  8. Create child of M_Parent called MI_Child
  9. Create a child of MI_Child named MI_Grandchild
  10. Open the editor for both MI_Child and MI_Grandchild and array the windows side by side.
  11. In MI_Child, toggle the override for the ignore-Switch parameter and set it to True.
  12. Observe that even though the material becomes emissive, the ignore-Switch parameter in the parameter panel shows False and Reset to Default even though it isn't overriden.
