Feature File Warning not edit in Glyphs #525

I would like to not care about the original features and edit them anyway in Glyphs. I thought I removed the link between the source file and the .fea file, but apparently not. Is there a way to to remove the original features definitely, and to not have them restored in any way?

From Glyphs.app, remove this field from your masters' userData: com.schriftgestaltung.Glyphs.originalFeatureCode

That should prevent glyphsLib from restoring old imported features.fea code.

Thanks @belluzj for the quick reply. I searched for this kind of key and couldn't find it visible in font/master/instance info (neither Glyphs 2 nor 3). There was not so much masters, so I converted to UFO, removed the inconsistant features and reconverted to Glyphs. It worked, but a tuto for next user having this problem would be awesome.

Does not seem like a ufo2ft issue.
