Fusion referencing drawing views on multiple sheets when using "Create Drawing"

ok, here's one that I've been running into for a while and has caused me issues a bunch of times. I finally had enough and figured out what's going on.

So when I do 2D drawings from my 3D models in Fusion the majority of the time I just select my components I need to detail in my 3D view, right click them and use "Create Drawing". I go through the create drawing dialogue and it all works good for the most part. Except when creating a new sheet on an open drawing Fusion places the drawing reference model on the active sheet as well as the new sheet. The reference placed on the active sheet is not displayed on that sheet, just the new sheet. BUT you can still control what's visible on the new sheet from that reference on the active sheet, which is dumb and confusing. This causes 2 references to be on each drawing sheet if you do your entire drawing package this way and the kicker is that one of the references controls what is displayed on a different sheet and you have no feedback to what it's controlling because you can't see it... I'll attach a video to show what's going on.

Can we get this fixed?

Bump.
This should be fairly easy to fix? I think you're just calling adding a reference in your code before adding a new sheet.
