Aisling Crafting Bench bug – normal item stuck and cannot be removed

Bug Description: After completing a Safehouse with Aisling, the crafting bench opens with a pre-selected item (e.g. body armour). There is no option to replace it with another item (e.g. a bow), which prevents applying Aisling's modification to the desired gear.

Steps to Reproduce:

Complete a Safehouse encounter with Aisling present.

The crafting bench opens with a fixed item.

No option to change the item — selection is locked.

Expected Behavior: Players should be able to choose any item from their inventory to apply Aisling’s crafting effect.

Note: I’ve tried everything — clicking, dragging items, restarting the game — but nothing works. The interface remains locked to a single item.

The Safehouse rewards have also been completely rebalanced. Happy interrogating!
Thanks for your reply, but this doesn’t address the issue I reported.
The bug is not about general Safehouse rewards — it’s about a specific problem with Aisling’s Crafting Bench.
A normal item is stuck in the bench and cannot be replaced, making it impossible to apply Aisling’s modification.
I’ve tried everything (restart, hideout change, config reset), but nothing works.
Could you please escalate this or provide a workaround?

That is the change they were referring to. Reddit has an updated list somewhere. There's only a couple of Syndicate benches that allow you to provide your own item, and Aisling does not have one of them. Chance orb, swap div card, fusings, and maybe something else. The rest that revolve around crafting are randomly generated items by GGG. Some of which can spawn incompatible items for that specific bench, but hopefully addressed next league.
