ITS has posted a hotfix for the most recent beta release of UT Drupal Kit 3.0 (UTDK 3).
The 3.0.0-beta.5.2 release fixes a bug in custom content components that store multiple instances (e.g., links in Quick Links, or lists of Promo Units). If, for example, a Promo Unit was created with multiple instances, then subsequently edited for the purpose of removing one or more instances, other instances that were not intended to be deleted could be lost.
Components that contained the logic error:
- Flex Content Areas
- Photo Content Areas
- Promo Lists
- Promo Units
- Quick Links
- Resources
- Social Links
Once a site is updated to 3.0.0-beta.5.2, existing content will no longer be susceptible to this issue.

A NOTE ABOUT BETA RELEASES
This is a beta release for the next major version of the UT Drupal Kit. Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites.
