Prefabbed and not applied long values get reverted when entering play mode

Asset and Scene Management

-

How to reproduce:
1) Open the LongBugScene scene from the attached project
2) Select the scene_LongData object
3) Notice it has a value of 888888888888888888
4) Give it a new value
5) Select the prefab_LongData object
6) Notice it has a value of 2222222222222222
7) Give it a new value
8) Enter play mode

Result:
scene_LongData's value will remain at whatever was set in step 4. prefab_LongData will revert to 2222222222222222, which is the value stored in the prefab.

Expected:
long values should behave the same as any other value when entering play mode, prefabbed or not.

Workaround: Apply changes to prefab and the play

    I am running into this exact issue in Unity 5.6.1f1
    How does one go about reopening an old issue? I've never used these bug report forums before...

    I encounter this issue as well. It applies to List<long>, long[] as well.
    Prefab is a template. If the prefab instance value won't save, it is useless for prefab mechanism.

    I have a habit of using prefabs as templates, that have a collection of settings as publics.
    Say, a spawner that has frequency and things like that. So I could have multiple Instances of the same prefab in the scene, with different values.
    This bug kinda breaks that utility, if I want to use long values.
