Re: Opening Files in External Editor causes file group to change
The file is over 100 KB. With the default settings, such file is transferred via a temporary file, what causes the overship change:

You can turn that feature off.
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_pref_resume
The reason, why it's different in the internal editor, is that the internal editor forces a use of text transfer mode. With the mode, the transfer via the temporary file is never used. So as another solution, you can force the text mode for your external editor.

Re: Opening Files in External Editor causes file group to change
I upgraded WinSCP and tested again. The issue still persists in Version 5.17.6 (Build 10516).

Thanks for taking out the time to look at this. Here are my logs with redactions.

Re: Opening Files in External Editor causes file group to change
Please attach full session log files for both scenarios.
To generate the session log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

Opening Files in External Editor causes file group to change
When I save changes to files using the internal editor, the group stays the same (desired behavior). However, I have saved the same files from the external editors Atom and Visual Studio Code and in both cases the group changed from 'mydevgroup' to 'myusername' meaning I have to be careful not to lock other devs out of files that I'm editing. Is this something I can configure in WinSCP?
