When I type "npm start" in command prompt, it wipes my config data.

Here is a log of what is says. I put stars around the stuff of interest.

Bellow is my sleepingSettings.yml file before it wipes it:

serverName: Server is sleeping. Join to wake up.
serverVersion: 1.12.2
serverPort: 25545
maxPlayers: 20
loginMessage: Waking server up. Process takes 3 mins.
serverOnlineMode: true
startMinecraft: true
minecraftCommand: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre-1.8\bin\java" -server -Xms1G -Xmx16G -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2860.jar nogui
restartDelay: 5000
version: false (I tried it on "true" but result was the same)
useWhitelistFile: false
useBlacklistFiles: false
useNativeFiles: false (I tried it on "true" but result was the same)

Keep in mind, I had to type in a file path instead of the start command because I am hosting a Sky Factory 4 server (Forge 1.12.2 on Java 8) along with 2 other servers (Forge 1.19.2 on Java 17). I did some trouble shooting for like 3 hours and I found that this was the only way to launch this server in Java 8 and the other servers in Java 17.
