Node-Red Update? Changes Device Names

[HEGarrard]

I installed an update to Node-Red on Home Assistant and it appears there was a "revamp" of the edit method. Although all of my flows seemed to work properly, when I clicked on, for example "CALL SERVICE" node my named devices were all replaced with a series of numbers and letters. When I tried to add a new device - I would start typing the "name" of the device to search for it and node-red was unable to find the device.

I have attached a screenshot of one of the edit screens. Seems like a totally new revamp of the edit screen. When I would click on the "add device" I was unable to SEARCH for any devices.

Because I was having issues with editing and adding new flows, I restored an old backup to get back to where I was before the Node-Red update.

Any ideas? Was the update the issues?

I restored a previous backup to the following and all seems "normal"
Currently Running:
HA: 2024.9.2
Node-Red: 18.0.5
Node-Red Companion: v4.1.0

I had updated all of the following to these versions - when I noticed the issue ...

HA to 2024.9.3
Node-Red to 18.1.1
Node-Red Companion: v4.1.1
