Hmm, how are you instantiating your prefab? You should be using the project-level prefab and not an already-instantiated GameObject. All settings don't get copied when you do that.
If you are instantiating a new character that has the PlayerInput component you should remove the original PlayerInput component since that one is no longer valid. You could also reassign but removing is probably easier since you are going to have to duplicate PlayerInputs anyway.
