Global approval paths changing on the backend

For a while, my team and I have been seeing some of our global approval paths updating into private approval processes in setup. We setup our global approval processes by creating approval paths with generic job roles, then we attach those onto tasks in our templates. From there, our project managers will create projects from those templates and edit the approval process and assign them to the correct users. Every once in a while, we'll find a converted approval path in setup. Our project managers haven't seen anything out in the ordinary when updating as well. I've read the documentation about editing approval paths and it says it should only impact the object it's attached to. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar to this situation and if this is normal behavior?

literally as you are making the change on the object, a popup appears telling you that it only affects the object and not the setup area. From that standpoint then, it's not normal behavior. Regardless of whether anyone else has experienced anything similar or not -- you should open a case. (especially true if none of your PMs are system admins)
