@bryanboza this behavior isn't a problem. In fact, it's the way the page editor works everywhere other than Experiments.

For example, if you select the Persona and make changes, and then view Layout or Rules, then go back to Content, the previously selected Persona is still selected. So, keeping it the same when you go into Experiments is consistent with how it works everywhere else.

It's also actually probably the best behavior for how users will actually use Experiments. If someone has an Experiment set up (but not yet running, so it can still be edited), and they come into the main page and change the main page for a specific Persona, there's a very good chance that they'll want to change the variants for that same Persona.

So, not only is this not a problem, it's actually the desired behavior. By design, selection of the Persona should persist, whether you're editing the main page or a variant.

@john-thomas-dotcms you are right, but look this

https://github.com/dotCMS/core/assets/2641437/4eb7532a-9d17-4e2f-9b33-260b136eced0

Is not the same behavior when you are out of experiments

This behavior, while not ideal, is ok

[john-thomas-dotcms]

The behavior noted by @bryanboza above is acceptable (and I believe actually the right behavior). Removed the Needs Work label and closed.
