Lamp Controls to Turn On Relays Doesn't Hold Through Restart

This feels like a 'there is no right answer' thing, and I can already feel the reply saying 'using latch-lock' coming, but...

If you make a custom lamp control to turn on a ThruPower relay (so that each channel has a lamp control to turn its power on or off), then you can power on a lamp successfully - but if you exit and re-start the console these values are lost and so all the relays switch off.

I suspect it's because lamp controls were originally intended to set then clear a channel (ie. to set a 'reset' value for a moving light, wait for a bit then clear that value). And as I say I suspect the answer here, with Sensor at least, is to use LatchLock mode on the dimmer, but curious as to whether these getting cleared is by design or by accident?

Ta,

Rob.
