[General] Map saves triggers but won't save object data

This has happened to me a long time ago, and I managed to circumvent it by directly creating new data within the Campaign Editor. Whether I update triggers in a map and save it, everything's normal, but the Object Data won't save. It has stopped after a few saves, and now I need to force a change of speed of some units plus eliminate requirements on some Researches, but it won't save the changes! It reverts them to the last save!! Again, updated triggers are saved normally, but Object Data changes won't save anymore,. Why, and how can I sort this out?
 
Here's from a thread called "campaign map won't save" by someone you might know:

Might be the same problem? :p

Hahah! Well, as I said, W.E saved the map's customised Object Data for some time, then apparently it decided it won't save anymore, except the updated triggers. 🤯 But I know for a fact I haven't changed any directories whatsoever, so I really don't know what it is and I wish I knew what kind of logic would ever be behind this.🤷‍♂️
 
When you save, I'd advise to do it in the campaign editor window, not the triggers or even the map itself, I've had problems with data reverting because I was saving the map and not the campaign
I do always save through the campaign editor window. When I noticed it stopped saving object data within that map, I tried also to save through the object data tab, and the map warned me about "not all players have starting locations blablabla", so I did that, but nothing changed.

EDIT: So, the update I have is:
There was a pink line under a changed icon that was the same in the Campaign Editor. I thought that by removing that everything would work again; you know, if you try to import the same .blp when the same one was already in the campaign with a different label, then it would read 0kb so you'd have to import it all over again, but nope, that was not the case in this instance.
I've reset some other pink lines and they DO save after the W.E. restarts, but new pink lines won't!!
Fortunately there are triggers that can seemingly help me to create some workaround, and the icons I've changed did get saved a few days ago, when this thing was working.
If anyone hasn't got a solution for this, then my hopes are for next maps to save Object Data alterations with no problem such as this.
