[MC-105384] Armor Stand despawns

It's been a long time.
I found out that some armor stands despawn like hostile mobs.
But some armor stands never despawn.
I tried to keep them by adding PersistenceRequired:1
but it doesn't work at all.

I do see some similar situations in Quick Search,
but it's far from 1.10 and isn't fixed.
So just a quick report to see if the developers
still know this issue.

Please provide the exact command you're using.

summon ArmorStand 607.5 150 -0.5 {NoGravity:1,Invisible:1,Marker:1,Invulnerable:1,Tags:["fight18","core18"],PersistenceRequired:1,Passengers:[{id:FallingSand,Invulnerable:1,
NoGravity:1,Tags:["fight18","skin18"],Block:minecraft:diamond_block,Time:1},
{id:Guardian,PersistenceRequired:1,Invulnerable:1,Silent:1,DeathLootTable:"empty",Tags:["fight18","laser18","Invisible"]}]}

Basically, when the armor stand despawns, it leaves the falling sand visible.
Edit: idk what happened to the display of this command...

PersistenceRequired is not available for armor stands in the first place, so adding it is invalid and will be ignored. Armor stands do not despawn naturally.

It's highly likely you're killing it with other commands. You should look over your mechanisms to ensure it doesn't happen.
