referenced effect from preset inside several cues

Question

hello, 
 using eos 3.2.7 build 18 
 i have several cues using the same focus effect. 
 so i have recorded a preset containing this effect with "plus fx". 
 
 i am referencing this preset in several cues. 
 the result is fine, the effect is the same one on each cue. 
 and then, i am changing the effect size inside the preset. 
 the cues are not following this change from the preset. 
 i need to edit all my cues to ask the channels to use the same preset again... 
 is it a bug or a normal behavior or is there a workaround ?

This is expected behavior. Presets do store effect data, but the effect data is not referenced in e.g. cues. 
 Think of presets with effects as delivery method that puts values in cues the moment you apply it, rather than a traditional referencing preset.

If your preset not only contains the effect but also regular values (e.g. FX 901 as well as Pan/Tilt values) you can use ReplaceWith syntax: 
 Blind, Cue Home Thru Enter (this selects all cues) Chan 1 Preset 2 ReplaceWith Preset 2 Enter 
 If you're using parameter values from a different preset/palette or absolute values this will not work.
