Problem summary Upon reloading a Katana scene, TeleParameters linked to a multi-select drop-down Parameters (Like the interactiveOutputs parameter in the RenderSettings node) display unexpected behaviour. Different behaviours can be observed depending on which drop-down parameter is linked to the TeleParameter.
interactiveOutputs (RenderSettings) The TeleParameter should display a multi-select drop-down parameter, however, a string parameter is instead shown. Editing the user parameters and then finishing editing them restore expected functionality for that Katana session time.
mergeOutputs (RenderOutputDefine) The TeleParameter correctly displayed the Dropdown parameter, however, depending on a range of different factors, the dropdown menu can fail to display any of the options when interacted with. Modifying a value in the drop-down parameter within the original node, or when it is displayed within the TeleParameter restores expected functionality for the remaining duration of that Katana session.

Steps to reproduce 1) Open up the "Secondary Images (AOVs)" example project from the "Help -> Example Projects" menu.
2) Add a RenderSettings node under the DlSettings node.
3) Add a Group node and edit its user parameters by clicking the wrench icon in the Parameters tab.
4) Add a TeleParameter from the "Add" menu.
5) Press "Shift + E" while hovering the mouse of the RenderSettings node to display both node's parameters.
6) Middle mouse drag and drop the interactiveOutputs parameter to the Teleparameter. Then click the wrench icon and finish editing user parameters.
7) Ensure that the RenderSettings node is no longer viewed in the Parameters tab by hovering over the Group node and pressing 'E'.
8) "Save as" the project and reopen the project through the "Open Recents" option (or through the "Open" option).
Result: The Telparameter within the Group node displays as a string parameter instead of a multi-select drop-down parameter.
Expected behaviour The TeleParameter interacts the same way as if you were interacting with the original multi-select drop-down parameter.
Actual behaviour A range of unexpected behaviour occurs when interacted with, that consistently return when the Katana project is reloaded.
Workaround Within the Teleparameter's node, editing then finishing editing the user parameters may restore expected behaviour. Otherwise, try modifying a value in the multi-select drop-down parameter within the original node, or when it is correctly displayed within the TeleParameter.
