The latest build, 22490, has broken nearly all custom maps that balances a map’s gameplay with custom values on upgraded units or buildings.
The reason is due to the “Use Relative Upgrade Costs” being forcibly changed from “True” to “False.”
TRUE = Use the cost of the new unit/building only, do not calculate the difference.
FALSE = Upgrade cost is calculated as the difference between the two units/buildings that are to be upgraded.
Guide on how to fix this:
All mapmakers must go to the Constants editor in the World Editor and change “Use Relative Upgrade Costs” back to “True.”
To do this, do the following steps:
1.) Open your map in the World Editor.
2.) Go to “Advance” on the top tabs.
3.) Scroll down to the option “Gameplay Constants” and click it.
4.) Scroll down and find “Gameplay - Use Relative Upgrade Costs.”
5.) Double click “Gameplay - Use Relative Upgrade Costs” and click the checkbox. This changes it from “False” to “True” again, as it had been originally before the patch.

Can confirm that I’m seeing this too. We need a rollback ASAP as this is really destructive to custom maps.
I’m also seeing some item stacking values changed. Items that previously stacked in my custom map no longer are stacking.

It’s funny how we have this “bug report” forum that never seems to come in handy…

I have made a separate bug report just now. I intended for this thread to reach every mapmaker who would be confused and wanting a quick fix for their maps before Christmas Holiday begins.
Unfortunately, this is probably needed, as one of the most well known “bug” was left unaddressed, being the object editor field “Art - Portrait Model File” being forcibly added to every custom map out there. This addition broke the unit portrait of almost every custom unit that used a model, and has not been fixed.
It is likely that this new issue of the constant “Use Relative Upgrade Costs” will also not be fixed and go unaddressed like the above constant in the map editor.
The following bug report is linked below.

Survival Chaos - Some files are missing in Wold Editor - could you please upload a rapaired map somewhere?
Funny how Blizzard destroyed one of the best custom maps and force players to play their “upgraded” sh*t…
