I am doing a simple scene save and ran into a problem. If you add a node to the main scene, which is a scene and is not local, the data from its child scripts will not be saved. I tried to put flags in ResourceSaver but it didn’t help. Is there any solution other create than custom writing a data save?

**Godot version:** 3.2.3-stable-official **Issue description:** When a no…de branch has children instances with editable children enabled and you save that brach as a separate scene, the changes made to children is lost. **Steps to reproduce:** * Create scene with instanced, editable children: ``` Scene `- NodeBranch `- Editable Child `- [changes] ``` * Save the NodeBranch as separate scene. * Changes in children are silently lost. **Expected behaviour:** New scene saved has children with `editable children` and changes persisting. **Use case:** Re-factoring scenes that already have instances with changed children in their branches.
