How does Campaign Editor Custom Data work?

[neraagile]

Well, the problem is: I'm making a campaign and I thought that instead of having to repeatedly make (or copy/past, which still takes more time that I would bother spending) the hero/other transmap unit I would just make it in the Campaign Custom Data section, but it seem that whenever I actually try to use the model created in the Campaign Custom Data section, it merely reverts back to the unit I initially copied (for example the house reverts back to the Farm and beforehand the Hero reverted back to the Bloodmage)

If you first created the unit in the map and copied it over to the campaign database, the unit's ID might get mixed up. Therefore it's better to create a unit in the campaign database, and just copy the values of the unit.

Well, I suppose that'll be my course of action then.
Thank you anyways.

If you clicked test map it wouldnt work. You gotta open it from the campaign.

Already did that, still not working.

What's so hard about it? You open the campaign editor, go to the "Object Data", and start editing. Then import your map into the campaign, select it in the main window, and one of the buttons of the top tab says "Open Map". Click it.
The best thing about it is that you can create more custom stuff in the map, and have a folder for specific map customs only and another folder for campaign customs.
Keep in mind, however, that things you change in the campaign data while inside the map only affects them IN that map.

Which is exactly what isn't happening. If you check the pictures no. 2 and 3 show what Map Editor shows me, and what happens once I go in game, the house goes back to being a basic Farm.

Edit: never mind, I misunderstood www123, he is right, thats how it'll work, by opening it through the Custom Campaign, instead of by testing the map.
