The Programmable Splitter doesn't save the set items automatically. Even though it saves a few of the added items, it resets a few of them to 'Any' many times. This bug is a common occurrence for most players. Even though it isn't fixed yet, it is safe to say that this bug only affects clients on multiplayer games.

Many users have also reported that the issue occurs only when the number of slots is changed while using the Programmable Splitter in Satisfactory. While there is no certainty on why the issue prevails, you can try to add the slots and then reopen the interface before setting the items in Programmable Splitter's interface.
