Small issue, flash macro/command keys

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I wanted to try something out tonight and it seems to not work as easily as I had hoped.

I'm on a RH4 with 2.1.
I am right handed, so I use the command keys to have a Play, Pause, Skip Forward and Skip Backward macros on the command keys, all four of those work fine. I also have a bump scene on fader 9 for a few pages. Rather than using my left hand for bumps, I was hoping to make a macro exactly the same way I made the main playback macros, but i'm finding it won't work like a flash.

I copied my main playback macro, changed it to key press>console>fader 1/9>flash. it doesn't work in the macro directory or in the command keys. Am I missing something? I assumed that fader 1/9 flash would work the same as my actual fader 9 flash button does. I'm hoping to find time to try it on my nano tomorrow, but I wanted to point it out in case it was a bug or if I'm just doing it wrong.

    You are executing keystrokes with your macro.
    This has nothing todo with the key you press, you can also give a GO button a duration
    What is different is what the console does with this:
    A press/trigger of GO with 10 seconds duration in the macro results in 1 GO.
    A press/trigher of Flash with 10 seconds duration in the macro results in 10 sec output of the intensity. Thats why you need a duration if you want to trigger a flash button via keystroke.
    You can use a Midi-Pad and map them to the Flash, Go etc buttons.... If you want to have it work like you want it
