After you change the type of an A/B Test node (with holdouts enabled) from Champion/Challenger to Challenger/Challenger and you connect the new output cells to the same communication, the holdout name and code in the Communication node is incorrect.

For example, suppose that you have a campaign with an A/B Test node that contains a champion cell CHAMP1 and a challenger cell CHALL1, as shown below:

In this case, the holdout name in the communication  will be CHAMP1_Control, with a holdout code of CGCHAPMP1.

Then, you change the A/B test node type to Challenger/Challenger with cell codes of CHALL1 and CHALL2.

If you then reconnect the output cells to the communication, the communication holdout name and code remain incorrect as CHAMP1_Control and CGCHAPMP1 rather than Chall-A_Control and CGCHALLA, as shown below.

To work around this issue, delete the A/B Test node and then re-create it.
