Nested Linked Revit Models do not display when model is published to BIM 360

Nested Linked Revit Models do not display when model is published to BIM 360

In a Revit Model Collaborated in Cloud (Model A), if you manage links and link to another Revit Model (Model B) set as attachment, then you link "Model A" into another model (Model C) you will see both Model A and the nested linked "Model B"  in Model C as you would expect.  This is called nesting links and is not a new Revit concept.  All is well from a Revit Standpoint, however, if you publish "Model C" to BIM 360 with 3D views and sheets.  You only see what is in Model C on the sheets and in the 3D Views, nothing from the nested links is visible once so ever in the BIM 360 Model Viewer.  This is a considerable loss of function from the software.  The workaround I am using is to Link "Model B" directly into "Model C" on a Workset that you toggle on to publish only.  This is an industry standard workflow (nested links) and BIM 360 publishing should support this functionality.  I hope this feature/function gets addressed in the product soon.

I am facing the same problem with Revit 2024 and ACC. Obviously no improvement from Autodesk.

I have been searching regarding this issue for an year still not getting any solution. 
Actually what I did means, first I have  saved a main model(A) in cloud then linked the model(B) in to Model(A) which also saved in cloud and published the main model(A). I able to see the linked files are visible in Revit model but not in cloud.
Even Main model links also not visible in cloud when created by API.
If it is done by manual ,I can see the Revit link models in cloud.
Kindly provide the solution or steps to do the process correctly by API.
Note: Which all has done by Revit API. No manual process.
