When attempting to access the Console in LXC's, the console option is empty and non-responsive to entries. How do I correct this?

In the options of the container there are three entries related to the console:
/dev/console set to enabled
TTY count set to 2
Console mode set to tty
If settings are different, reset them to these values.

Is this the only container with this issue?
Can you enter the container via shell with pct enter 108?
This is a new container I'm attempting to deploy but stuck with no Console. The other working containers have functioning Consoles until I access any other option, then the Console becomes inoperable with them as well.

if you enter the container successfully, you have full access and can run any command.
For testing if just the webconsole has an issue, you can try pct console 108. This opens same console like in webGUI. (Exit via ctrl+a q)

Any idea why Console itself can’t be reached?
 
I'd try to start the CT with debugging enabled to see what's going on.
Bash:
pct shutdown 108
lxc-start -n 108-F -l DEBUG
See here for more.
Please also share the output of pct config 108 --current.
