Opening 2.5.X mission in 2.7.X editor changes group and unit names to a previous state.

Opening a mission created in 2.5.X with the new 2.7 editor causes names of groups and units that were coped and pasted on the map to revert to their name generated when they were posted, despite having been renamed and saved previously.
I discovered this as some of my scripts rely on these unit and group name.

Example: this Range Target was copied and pasted then renamed Al Dhafra Range T2 using 2.6.X. It has now reverted to Al Dhafra Range T1-1 (this was what it was when originally copied)

This is what it was renamed to as per my script that has been working prior to 2.7

I have done nothing other than open the mission in the 2.7 editor.

To test open an old mission and look for units and groups you copied and pasted and note the names have reverted.

Further to this, It is doing the same thing with cloned triggers.
