I will update the thread once I have more information.
Are you going to make an announcement on the Bridge about this then? People don't check Engineering often, it would be nice to give people a heads up.
The next step is working on a solution for players having received the wrong item.
We have automatically added the correct Rare Reward to the players that had the wrong one.
The incorrect reward will be removed at a later date so you will still see it as well.
You will need to restart the game to see an updated amount of "Demands", though if you do not restart and you receive a Rare Rewards when doing a recipe, the amount will refresh itself.

I don’t think I understand what you’re saying.
Did you receive an in-game mail regarding the bug?
If so, are you saying you crafted additional “Demands” (the Rare Rewars) after you received the in-game mail, but the counter for them stayed the same?

Have you crafted any additional “Demands” since receiving the in-game mail with additional information in the crafting bug this evening?

No, I did not say that. Shan's post said that the "demands" would be updated with either (1) a restart, or (2) "when doing a recipe, the amount will refresh itself. " I tried both methods and neither worked. My "beacons" have not been converted to "demands".
The erroneous Rare Reward, “Fuel Beacons,” as mentioned in the in-game, mail, are going to stay in your inventory (but won’t do any harm), until the event is over.
The update is referring to your total number of the Rare Reward, “Demands.” That tally will be updated after a client restart or when you create a new one.
Here’s an example:
Earlier today, I crafted the appropriate mission item for the mission “Funds for the Cause.” I triggered a bonus and received a Rare Reward of a single “Fuel Beacon.”
This was a bug. I was supposed to get a “Demand.” So we ran a script later in the day to address that.
Before we ran the script, I had 94 “Demands” in my inventory, and 3 “Fuel Beacons.”
After we ran the script, once I restarted my game client (or triggered another Rare Reward creation) I now had 97 “Demands” in my inventory and 3 “Fuel Beacons.”
The amount of “Demands” was updated, not “Fuel Beacons.” This is because there wasn’t an actual conversion (where we take A and replace it with B ). Your tally of “Fuel Beacons” was used to determine how many additional “Demands” you were supposed to be granted.
Does this line up with your experience, or did you encounter something different?

I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand, but I will try again.
The tally of "Demands" in my inventory HAVE NOT increased by the number of "Fuel Beacons" in my inventory.
As an example:
Before DB ran the script, I had 18 "Demands" and 4 "Fuel Beacons".
After reading Shan's post above, I restarted the client. I had 18 "Demands" and 4 "Fuel Beacons". I re-read Shan's post and completed several recipes. I now have 20 "Demands" in my inventory and 4 "Fuel Beacons".
The amount of "Demands" was NOT updated by the conversion script. NO additional "Demands" have been granted.
What is the DBID for your account?
What DBID for you? I found the one linked to your forum account but as far as we can tell it was not impacted by the issue.
As explained in the email, and in this thread, the item Beacon Fuel was not removed from your inventory. Furthermore some of them were from a previous event.
For each player affected we have checked the amount of Beacon Fueled crafted yesterday, prior to the issue being fixed.
