Current Behavior

Special functions should have stayed ON.

Only selected OTX SF Actions have Enabled flag whereas as of 2.10 all ETX Actions do #3601
OTX SF Actions with enabled flag get converted to ETX with enabled on/off.
OTX SF Actions without an enabled flag get converted to ETX with enabled off.

The release notes for 2.10 https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/releases/tag/v2.10.0 had this stated limitation:
"When updating, the following special and/or global functions may need to be re-enabled: Instant Trim, BG Music Pause, Vario, Screenshot, Racing Mode, Disable Touch, and Audio Amp Off"

Just to add: the o/p raised this in relation to a setup in OTX 2.3 format targetting the X9D. This has a number of PlayTrack special functions which were disabled after conversion to ETX 2.10.4.

It would be really nice if this could be fixed as all my sailplane templates are in OTX format (there are still a few OTX users out there, and the ability to import into EdgeTX means that only one master file needs to be maintained).

Thanks for all the hard work, BTW, EdgeTX rocks!

Otx is irrelevant here, he was just saying more (all) SF have now enable field, the one where it was added recently need to be manually activated if desired. Coming from Otx or older Etx is the same

OK. I'll add an explanatory note on my support page. It's a shame this behaviour can't be altered, though, since the correct Enable state is already known from the OTX setup.

Fixed in 2.10.5
