I tried "upgrading" a logistic chest from Storage to Active provider while in remote view.
Instead of applying an upgrade planner, the game deconstructed the Storage chest and constructed the Active provider chest.

I noticed when upgrading from active provider to storage, this does work as I expected. It might be intended functionality but I figured I'd report it anyways.

Thanks for the report however this is Not a bug. There are certain entities that cannot be updated just by marking them to be updated because there are also other settings to be applied and logistic containers are quite tricky in that sense because some of then hold extra data like requests or filters.
