AnimationPlayer: "Editing imported animation" warning when "Save to File" is enabled

Issue description

I'm porting my game to 4.0 and I have a GLTF model for the player with a bunch of animations.

I need to customize these animations in order to add custom tracks but even with the correct settings the editor still warns about the imported scene not being customizable.

It seems that the warning can be ignored since the animations point to the animation files and that adding custom tracks is possible and are kept between reimports.

Steps to reproduce

I tested with a GLTF model, I don't know if this affects other file formats as well.

1. Select the model in the file system
2. Go to the import tab and go to the advanced import options
3. For each animation, enable "Save to File" and "Keep Custom Tracks" and set the path where to save it.
4. Hit reimport
5. Create an inherited scene from the model and open it
6. Select the AnimationPlayer
7. Animation Player has the "Imported Scene" warning telling to do what was already done in order to edit the animations

Minimal reproduction project

For testing I got a model + animation from Mixamo, converted it to GLTF using fbx2gltf and imported it in Godot.

We can see that the animation is actually saved to disk but it can't be customized using the AnimationEditor.

This warning was likely added by #63249.

Hello, I'm having this problem as well on 4.0.2.
I'm trying to change the interpolation of my animations, but getting this warning as well, even with the correct import settings.
Anyone managed to find a work around?

Verify if it works or not.
I had the warning but was able to modify my animation anyway and everything worked fine.

Thank for your reply. I was indeed able to modify the animations, but it tends to revert back the changes very easily.

If I close the project for example, I have to change the interpolation again every time I open it... And sometimes it'll happen randomly.

Edit: It seems that adding any kind of custom track to the animation fixes the reseting!

In v4.3.stable.official [77dcf97] I also have the [⚠️ Imported Scene] warning after importing a *.glb and adding it to an inherited scene.
I followed its message's instructions to try and make it go away:

This animation belongs to an imported scene, so changes to imported tracks will not be saved.

To modify this animation, navigate to the scene's Advanced Import settings and select the animation.
Some options, including looping, are available here. To add custom tracks, enable "Save To File" and
"Keep Custom Tracks".

by which I mean I enabled "Save to File" and "Keep Custom Tracks" as well as set save path for all my animations, then re-imported. I still have the [⚠️ Imported Scene] warning but can in fact edit the animations anyway and save the changes, and they are persisted even when I e.g. reload Godot.
