Why can't the Cubase Pool use the Project Tempo as the default tempo for newly recorded Audio parts?

Bump!

I tried again and now it seems the random values have disappeared but as soon as the cursors hit the right locator I get “???” as a tempo value.
I also tried both linear and musical timebase, punch in/out, and anything I could think of and the only thing triggering the “???” seems to be the cursor hitting the right locator?
