Unconstrained derive sketches, feature or another very old unresolved bug?

I found this post from 2019 labeling this occurrence as a bug:

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-support/sketches-in-derived-components-not-constrained/td-p/87...

 

I have a source project (project A) that has some sketches that I would like to reference to in another project (project B). The sketches are completely constrained in the source project, but completely blue after being derived into Project B.

 

I can't tell if this is a bug or a feature though. Since the  source sketches do reference some outside geometry if I remember correctly. I would think a better solution than unconstraining the entire sketch would be to simply add a lock constraint in the derived sketch to any projected lines, etc. that lost their reference. I could certainly be wrong.  

 

I haven't investigated the sketches too in-depth as I have become accustomed to coming here first rather than divesting hours into troubleshooting only to find out its an 8 year old bug that Autodesk still hasn't fixed.  The only explanation is the few projections I did have caused the entire sketch to turn blue. I will look into this. 

 

I guess my question is, is this a known bug? Has this been fixed? Or how does this feature work for everyone else, is this normal?

It won't let me edit, but I just realized much of what I said doesn't matter as they are derived and you can't even get into the sketches without going back to the source. So they should be constrained with or without any linked projections in the second project... Am I understanding this right?
