**Summary:**  
Saving a custom building with the start flag within it will make all placed copies of the building impossible to complete.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Build a house, wait til it is completed. Put the start flag within it
2. Save the house as a custom template.
3. Place a copy of the building using the custom template. It can’t complete because it needs a start flag, but you can’t build one or simply move it or undeploy it, because it is a unique item !

**Expected Results:**  
The start flag is filtered from the custom template.

**Actual Results:**  
The start flag is saved in the template, making copies uncomplete forever.
