"Switch S3_x cannot be exported on this board!" message using Backup in Companion on Boxer

[plarkinjr]

Is there an existing issue for this problem?

• I have searched the existing issues

What part of EdgeTX is the focus of this bug?

Companion

Current Behavior

If you program special functions into S3 (the 6 position buttons on a Boxer, or TX16s I assume), the backup and restore feature of Companion, it throws an error. Worse yet, if you added things to S3 after your last backup, restores will also fail (to blank it out).

Expected Behavior

It should not throw this error and instead backup and restore the assignments of S3_1 through S3_5.

Steps To Reproduce

Select a model, go to special functions, set S3_1 to "Play Background Music" and a valid track.
Save, write to radio, disconnect radio and test.
Attach radio, and select "Backup" to notice the error.

Attached screenshots show the error, how I've renamed the hardware, and how I've assigned it to special functions.

The backup and restore features are broken and require rework with the move to yaml. Until fixed, these functions will be will be disabled when #3824 is implemented to avoid the errors.

Until fixed use read and write models and settings.
