    I have the same problem. Using 2019.4.4f1 with Lightweight RP. Everything works, but gets reset.
    What I think the problem is, is that the VFX graph doesn't actually get saved into an asset. Even after saving, the graph tab has an asterisk behind it, indicating it hasn't been saved. I also created a subgraph, but even after CTRL+S, the .vfx file only says:

    Code (csharp):
    1. %YAML 1.1
    2. %TAG !u! tag:unity3d.com,2011:
    3. --- !u!2058629511 &1
    4. VisualEffectResource:
    5.  
    EDIT:
    I think I've solved it. The graph doesn't get saved if You have the window undocked from the editor.

    Another possible workaround/fix: Make sure You have some node selected in the graph while saving. That has worked reliably for me so far, though I do have to save 2-3 times in a row sometimes (CTRL+S,CTRL+S,CTRL+S)
