Macro Knob modulator does not update connections

I’m creating a modulator Macro Knob in Cubase 15 to control multiple parameters at once. Connections, parameters set. Moving the Knob changes the set parameters as needed. Now the Knob stays at a fixed setting (e.g. 60%). So far so good. However, if I save, close and reopen the project, the Knob shows the saved value (60%), but the target parameter values ​​of the connections are the ones before modulation, i.e. the default settings. They only change when I move the Knob, or when the modulation bypass is on/off. This makes no sense. What am I doing wrong?

after reopening

I can only confirm this but don’t see any way to avoid it.
It basically means that you have to touch any Macro Knob after loading the project, in order to have it adjust the connected parameters. Bummer.
