Foundry map bugged?

Hey all! I published my quest today.
How its supposed to work: I enter a door from Protectors Enclave, get an item needed, leave door back to Protectors Enclave, leave Protectors Enclave to my Custom Map, Complete objectives and come back to claim reward.
How Its working now: I enter a door from Protectors Enclave, get an item needed, leave door back to Protectors Enclave, and the quest disappears! I could not get it again because it said I was already on that quest. I could not see it anywhere in my log. I thought I did something wrong. I checked and ran through the test play just fine. So I restarted the client and the quest reappeared. At that point I was able to complete it.
I'm not sure if this is because I have to meet minimum criteria for general use (Foundry Review List)? Or because of something else?
Anyway some help here, would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Extremely frustrating is an understatement after having spent quite some time trying to get this quest up and running, especially when everything in my test playthroughs were fine and the issue didn't seem to be there a couple days ago.

Also, this happens only in Neverwinter maps and only if there is no objective on it. Try add marker and objective "reach point". It may works this way. No guarantee.

Thread with suggestions for Foundry
My issue was happening even with objectives in the actual Neverwinter Maps. For reference, my quest is "Echoes of Providence Part 3." I had set the player to talk to certain NPCs throughout five areas, all of whom are reachable directly on the main map for those zones without zoning in to taverns or whatever. Basically, they were on the set list of NPCs for those areas that Cryptic allows you to select as an objective. I've since added their own custom houses within those zones, but that didn't work either. The journal and quest sidebar loss happens directly on zone-in. You can re-zone several times and eventually the quest will be back in your journal- it never is really "dropped," just hidden - but it's a fairly big quest-breaking bug for people that don't know to do that. If you try to complete the objective without it listed in your journal or sidebar, it creates an infinite loops; you keep getting the required item, and the NPC can just be talked to over and over without an Objective Complete.
The intention was to create a Foundry that people could quest with alongside the actual game quests, picking up items they need for my Foundry as they level up or play through certain areas. It's not a 15-minute quick kill arena quest; the running-around portion is intended to take some time if players wanted to keep it in their journal for a while, or they can just go through and pick up the items right after another. But, with the transition bug, it defeats the entire purpose of the first part of the quest, and will present a ton of issues with later Foundries. Forcing players to custom maps they can't re-enter, among other things, really hurts the Foundry system as a whole until this bug is fixed.
Really liking the Foundry so far, but this is a pretty major issue. A lot more important than my Mouse disappearing sometimes when editing rooms. That I can deal with, but this has to do with what players actually experience in our work, and since the Editor playthroughs seem to work fine, it means the real issue can't be tested or known about until it's published. :P

In the interim, it is best to stay away from public maps as much as possible. If you must have the player go to Protectors Enclave after you leave a custom make, use the Protectors Enclave map in Foundry, put a bunch of NPC's in(if they are not already) and do it that way. Not ideal, but it's a start until Cryptic starts to actually take the Foundry seriously and fix MAJOR bugs that have been in since alpha.
forien69 As for the issue with your mouse disappearing, you can CTRL-S to get it back(in case you did not know) and if you make sure to move objects from the Library to the map a bit slower, if will eliminate it almost entirely. The mouse disappears when some objects (clusters and FX are the worse) get dragged to quick out of the library.
