I dont know the exact sequence I used to create this issue, but I did replicate it once. Essentially I had few rows of chests, each with a requester and passive providers in an alternating sequence. The requesters were set to "set requests" and wired together within the column with green wire. The providers were unwired. I wired the first column of passive providers with red wire then copied that over to the other columns. I then wired the first passive provider to a pole expecting to see it's contents, but saw nothing. The only console commands I'd run on the save were /editor and /cheat, I've attached the save file, the issue is visible on the pole beside the biter display, the circuit network in question is 181.

Okay, I think I found the issue. When a requester that is set to "set requests" is shift right clicked then shift left clicked on to a passive provider, that passive provider will no longer output it's contents to it's connected circuit network, unless the "read contents" checkbox is unticked and reticked

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for 2.0.10, there is also a migration that should fix existing entities and there are tests to make sure this never happens again.
