Settings editor doesn't work for DataFields.

TO REPRODUCE:

1. Open a datafield project with settings

2. Run it on the simulator

3. Open settings editor

EXPECTED RESULT:
Should see settings...

ACTUAL RESULT:

I have verified this swapping between app projects, datafield projects and widget projects.

Seems pretty consistent.

OS = WIndows 10.

Simulator = Latest.

Simulator device tested = FR735xt, Fenix 5 Quatic, Fenix 6x Sapphire,

    A ticket has been created to investigate a possible cause for getting the project into this state.

    Hmm.

    Clearing TEMP directory didn't fix it, but it has now spontaneously fixed. 

    No, there were no code changes in the mean time. The only thing I did was swap project a few times and swap back.

    This specific ticket will go nowhere, but there's a bug in there somewhere I tell you. Somewhere.

    I have a number of projects that use their own jungles, barrels, etc. and they all work with the app settings editor.  I never check rebuild though, as I only use the app settings editor when they are already running in the sim.

    Ok, I've found a difference in that one of my DF projects _does_ show settings, so I will dig further as it is project specific.

    Jim, 

    Do your test projects use monkey jungles?

    I am using shape specific annotations to optimise code.

    EG: Stuff like this:

    semiround.excludeAnnotations = notSemiround;rectangle;round
rectangle.excludeAnnotations = semiround;notRectangle;round
round.excludeAnnotations = semiround;rectangle;notRound

    And I am noticing that, sometimes, when I select "Rebuild" checkbox, that the settings editor just crashes irrevocably. (I have to kill the task to proceed.)
