How to fix invalid UID warning?

Question

I copied some resources from another project into this one. Now I’m seeing warnings like this:

  WARNING: scene/resources/resource_format_text.cpp:444 - res://scenes/compute_nodes/world_map_generator.tscn:3 - ext_resource, invalid UID: uid://ccqo14fquuoop - using text path instead: res://scenes/compute_nodes/world_map_generator.gd

How do I fix my UIDs? I think if possible I could just recreate them since these objects were previously in another project.

If you go to Project → Tools, you should see an option called “Upgrade Project Files”
This will also re-generate UIDs, I think you should give it a go after you back up your project.

I did that twice, but it doesn’t look like it helped. I still have a lot of ext_resource, invalid UID errors.
