Please provide any additional information below.

It took a very long time but I have figured out this Unknown Flag to a 95% 
certainty to what it is. It is a flag that tells the game that a Base Effect on 
the Object Effect adds some sort of lasting effect to the target, like poison 
or fire effect.

There are a few cases where this is not the case but they look like genuine 
errors from development that got left behind. Even more, the GECK cannot create 
Object Effects with this flag. In conclusion, this flag isn't needed for the 
game to add aforementioned effects when the target is hit. It's possibly a 
leftover flag from Oblivion, since Object Effects work vastly differently 
between Fallout and Oblivion.

When I have some time I will remove this flag from all of the Object Effects 
and test to see if it is really needed for the game or not.

Thanks. I can always name it like "Lasting effect (unused)" for example. There 
are quite a lot of such flags in skyrim from new vegas.
Waiting for your results.
