React Avatar Editor overrides hex body colors with brick color IDs on page load

[juliaoverflow (julia)]

The new React-based Avatar Editor being rolled out immediately updates the user’s hex body colors with BrickColor colors when the page loads. This creates a hassle for users who prefer to use the website and has set non-BrickColor colors for their body colors with the app or with 3rd-party browser extensions.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Visit Log in to Roblox if you are enrolled in the A/B experiment.
2. Check network requests, it should have made a request to avatar.roblox.com/v1/set-body-colors

Browser information:
Google Chrome Version 138.0.7204.101 (Official Build) (arm64)

Expected behavior

It should not overwrite the user’s body colors until they are updated by the user.

This was reported already and closed as a feature request, believe it or not:

Unwanted skin tone automatically changes (in app vs on website)

Salutations! Thanks for sharing your idea! This is not exactly a bug report, so I’ll have to close this topic. Looks more like a feature request, which should be shared in the Feature Requests category. Thanks for understanding. Have a Nice Day!

CC @Reisdro_08 This isn’t really a feature request I think you misidentified it

Hey there @bvetterdays!

Thanks for pinging me in!
I see it now.
There was a Label attached about it being a Feature Request, which might be the cause of the confusion.

I’ll reopen the topic attached for it to be investigated.
Thanks for letting me know!

This was just fixed by them adding a variable for if the body colors were updated by the user. Now the entire page errors out with another issue, but the fix should be noticeable once the page is back working again.
