Outfit studio not saving bone weights

[jackiechanssmalercousin]

so im new to this particular aspect of outfit studio, so im not sure if im missing something,

im trying so fix an outfit with rather wonky bone weights and im pretty sure im painting it right however my changes here arent saving when i export back to nif or save as project

for anyone wondering exactly what im doing, im trying to make it so that the metal bits on this outfit dont deform constantly https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/42653?tab=description

figured it out, exported to obj and re-imported, also unpainted where it was already attatched to other bones
