Regression

Yes

Scripting Define Symbols are deleted after applying changes when External Script Editor is set to "Open by file extension"

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the user's attached "Unity 2022.zip" project
2. Go to Edit > Project Settings > Player > (select any platform except Windows, Mac, Linux) > Script Compilation > Script Define Symbols
3. Press the "Add to the list" button
4. Write a name for a Scripting Define Symbol and press the "Apply" button

Expected result: Scripting define Symbol is saved
Actual result: Scripting define Symbol is deleted

Reproducible with: 2022.1.0a2, 2022.1.0f1, 2022.2.0a11
Not reproducible with: 2019.4.38f1, 2020.3.33f1, 2021.3.1f1, 2022.1.0a1

Notes:
- Setting External Script Editor to Visual Studio or Rider and restarting the project fixes the issue (may need to repeat a couple of times)
- Scripting Define Symbols aren't deleted in "Settings for Windows, Mac, Linux"
- Scripting Define Symbols created in "Settings for Windows, Mac, Linux" are also transferred to other platforms

    You can fix this by filling in the scripting define symbols manually in the standalone version section of your ProjectSettings.asset file in the ProjectSettings folder of your project.

    will this never get fixed? It is super critical, we can't build for any platform that requires define symbols!
