Description

When I import .dna files the colors are lost and replaced with something else. Unclear to me if this is an issue with opencloning or pydna or maybe sgffp.

Ideally the feature colors and notes and everything would be preserved.

Edit: Initially I assumed OpenCloning was random colors to features. But thinking about it more - maybe it is applying colors from the syntax definitions? If so, that seems reasonable and I will close this issue.

Research direction

Start by tracing the frontend's .dna import flow and compare how feature colors, notes, and other attributes are handled. Check whether the behavior comes from OpenCloning, pydna, or sgffp; done means the source of the color change is identified and the expected preservation behavior is defined.
