Conforming a shot to a different frame rate doesnt seem to travel

Last week I took a 59.94 fps clip in my project and duplicated it. I right clicked on the duplicate and went to modify -> interpret footage and chose the radial dial "assue this frame rate" and typed in 23.98. At some point throughout the week I've been duplicating yesterdays project file on the daily, adding a new date, and working off of that newly made duplicate. Well at some point during the week when I opened my project file to look at that sequence, the clip was no longer 23.98, it was now 59.94 again. Not sure what caused it. But then today, i put the project on a different drive and then opened it on a laptop instead of a desktop computer and noticed the issue again. (I needed the clip to stay conformed at 23.98 so that it would match the 23.98 after effects MOV render a layer above it. but when it reverts back to 59.94, it doesnt match my roto and looks like a mistake on the timeline) Which tells me that if you conform a clip, and then open it in a different computer or different premiere project, that conform doesn't travel which is scary.
