Hello everyone,
I'm looking for someone to help me understand why my customized default class (Lead.php) in the /custom/module/Leads folder is not considered by SuiteCRM 7 despite the documentation says that this is the correct way to proceed with the upgrades, while, left in place, it works correctly.

What is the correct way to upgrade safe while keeping the custom classes?

Expected Behavior

According to the documentation, poor in this regard, the file should replace the one present in the default module.

Actual Behavior

The framework works correctly but the changes in the folder /custom/modules/Leads/Lead.php are not performed.

Possible Fix

Include /custom/modules/ files in rebuild and repair.

Steps to Reproduce

Try to customize any default class
Move that class into corresponding folder in /custom/modules/
Perform the Quick repair
Check if the code is executed

Context

I try to perform a Safe Upgrade.
My opinion is that this bug has medium relevance.

Your Environment

Docker Container with Ubuntu 22.04
Apache Webserver
PHP 7.4
SuiteCRM 7.13
