By Type Palettes

Hi

Seems like By Type palettes aren't quite functioning correctly in my base show file and I'm not 100% sure why, feels very much like a bug rather than something I'm doing wrong but I stand to be corrected if necessary!

I have channels 3001 - 3021 dedicated as dummy channels for all the different fixture types I work with in one venue. When I reopen this base file and start patching new channels as the same fixture types, only some - and sometimes none - of the fixtures have By Type references in my palettes, until I go back up to the dummy channel and re-assert it as the By Type fixture, even though it was already assigned as such in the first place. Attaching photos of one CTO colour palette for some VL4000's I've patched along with the dummy channel, both before and after re-asserting as the By Type fixture. Also attaching the base show file.

The way I'm getting around this is to copy the channels plus show in patch, but surely the By Type palettes should just work anyway?

Many thanks

Paul
