Bug in Inventor 2022 and 2024 - Importing Application Options File Naming Defaults

I am not looking for a solution, as I do not think there is one, but while trying to import a truncated AppOptions XML file via iLogic where I was changing the File Naming Defaults, I noticed that if I close the AppOptions dialog box while FILE tab is selected, then run the rule, it will not update the File Naming Defaults being set in the XLM.  If I go back into AppOptions and select any other tab other than File, then close the AppOptions, then run the rule, it will update the File Naming Defaults.  It is very odd.  I have tested this in 2022 and 2024 and it does this in both. It is just a bug from what I can tell.

could you share the xml file?

I could but it is not the XML.  It updates properly if the File Tab is not the tab selected on closing.  I have tested this multiple times.
