cba_settings.sqf breaks addon settings UI

Description:

• When the cba_settings.sqf file is present the addon settings UI displays default values instead of changed values.
• I was also told the mission sqm values can't be updated via the UI once this takes effect, but didn't manage to reproduce this part of the issue myself.

Steps to reproduce:

• Open a new mission, change any addon setting and save the mission.
• Open the mission folder and create cba_settings.sqf file.
• Re-open the addon settings UI and notice that the setting changed is seemingly reset.
• Delete the cba_settings.sqf file and then re-open the addon settings UI again and notice that they are back to normal.

Where did the issue occur?

• Editor (Singleplayer)

That is cba_settings.sqf in mission?

Correct, see repro steps 👍

Can't confirm, but I think I noticed that too. Doesn't happen with static addon settings though.
