I wanted to post this to bring it to peoples attention as it had me puzzled for a bit until I actually paid attention to what was going on. Hopefully it can be corrected in a future update, I have not looked at modifying the Haas post for my use here, but hopefully this helps someone else running into this problem.
With that said there is also the possibility I have something setup wrong and this is my mistake, but I have looked at it a couple times and I don't see any way to correct settings in fusion to correct this issue
To try and make a long story short, I have a pallet of parts and due to variations in the parts I need to probe the height and location of each one. To do this I have Fusion setup to use multiple WCS and each part has a series of probing routines setup to update the WCS for each of the 8 parts on the pallet individually.
I proved out the code running only a single part, everything went well and the work offsets updated correctly so I assumed all was good.
I check the box in the setup to use multiple WCS, posted the code and ran a pallet Each part probed like I expected them to so I assumed all was well and I ran the program through. Once done, it was clear there was an issue as several of the parts looked like the Work offset was not set correctly. So I ran the program through the probing again paying attention to the individual work offsets this time. What was happening was every time it probed the next part, it would only update the first work offset rather than update the work offset for the part it was probing.
So I started looking through the code and found the following.
Each time the probing is called up, it changes the individual work offset correctly, but where is specifies which work offset to update (SXXX.XX) it for some reason defaults back to the original work offset.
The simple fix obviously is to manually edit the post, it would be nice if this was done automatically. If anyone else has had luck with this then maybe I have screwed something up, some help would be great. If its just the post and the fact that the probing is pretty new, hopefully Autodesk can add this to the roadmap of things to work out in a future update.

An additional request for probing while I am requesting things, and maybe this is already planned, would be to let us specify the exact probing location. For instance, right now when probing a single surface, the probe defaults to the center of that surface. In my case on this part, there are obstructions that prevent this from being possible. The quick work around was to model in dummy probe locations that confined the probe to a specific area. It would be great if you could also pick a point or feature to further define the probing location and would make it much easier to setup.
