Undesired behaviour when creating a solid with parameters

As you can see, none of the parameters inputted at the 2D part of the solid creation passed onto the final solid, only the dimensions of those parameters did. The 3rd one (height) worked as expected.

Not saying it is correct or a flaw in the application, but primitives have always displayed like this. If you use sketches and solid modeling commands, it displays and holds the value as expected.

Edit: This behavior is probably due to the fact after the primitive box is complete, there is the option to change its size by dragging.

I see your point, but even if it has been always like this it still does not make sense, considering that the up/down dimension holds perfectly fine the first time it's typed.
The alternative provided is valid but creating a sketch for a single (simple) solid is a hassle considering you would have the sketch and the extrude in the timeline instead of only a solid marker.
Just tabbing through the dimensions once and re-inserting the parameters works, but is work that in my opinion could be avoided if the behavior in question changed.
Thanks for the time taken at responding.

Unfortunately this is a known 'feature', albeit highly undesirable and IMHO doesn't shine well on the professionality of F360 - see this thread.

The way around it is to create your primitive, and don't size it or enter anything, just click mouse button - this will give you a dialog box, but if you click on the direction arrow, a box will appear - that's where you enter your parameter, and it will stick
