Morpher keyframes not showing up in Track View

My Morpher keyframes do not show up at all in Track View Dope Sheet:

Or the Curve Editor:

Why is that?  where are my keyframes?

The Morpher has keys for 12 morphs each 10 frames, from frame 0 to 120.
It's using a Morpher material to morph between 12 different materials.
The Morpher modifier on the object is the one where the keyframes were set, and you can see the red brackets around each spinner.
The Morpher material doesn't have any keyframes either.

No, they are orange because there is no objects assigned to each morph, and there is no objects because it's not about morphing any objects, only the material.

Data is not "lost", *the animated material morph between the 12 different material along frames 0 to 120 🔴works ok.

How would it work ok then if "data is lost"?  The keyframes are still there, exactly where I created them: one keyframe for each morph channel every 10 frames. 

The problem is they *do not show up* in the Track View Dope Sheet, but those keyframes with those values (0 or 100) DO exist, every 10 frames, from frame 0 to 120. I can see the values changing and spinners showing red brackets every 10 frames when I scrub the timeline.

i know what you did , only mtl data you won't get curve forever , you must give it a mesh data

copy the object , and pick as target for every channel , you will see curves in both curve editor and dope sheet

Adding mesh data made the keyframes appear, thanks for the tip.

But this is clearly not right: keyframes for material changes should be visible without being forced to use *unnecessary* mesh data.

your thought is really what human being acceptable ,but the curve is based on controller ,mtl morpher has no controller on morpher itself , they are on mtl , but the keys on morpher , so there ware no curves on mtl , and as morpher won't show lost data curve so no curves on morpher too , we can treat this as a bug , but autodesk not consider changing it
