Description

Generating Visual Studio project files can reset the configuration for the Live Coding Console project to an incorrect configuration. The Live Coding Console needs to be built for Development, but setting the solution to another configuration also sets the Live Coding Console project to that new configuration. If the configuration for the Live Coding Console is manually set to Development_Program in the Configuration Manager, this setting will get reset if the project files are regenerated.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open any code project's solution in Visual Studio.
  2. Change the Solution Configuration for the project to DebugGame Editor.
  3. Open the Configuration Manager window (Build -> Configuration Manager...).
  4. Locate the LiveCodingConsole project.
  5. Change the Configuration for this project from DebugGame_Program to Development_Program.
  6. Close the Configuration Manager window and close Visual Studio (save the solution if prompted).
  7. Right-click on the .uproject file and select Generate Visual Studio Project Files.
  8. Re-open the project's solution in Visual Studio.
  9. Open the Configuration Manager window.
  10. Locate the LiveCodingConsole project.

RESULT:
The Configuration for the LiveCodingConsole project has been set back to DebugGame_Program.

EXPECTED:
The Configuration for the LiveCodingConsole project is still set to Development_Program.
