Dim and constraint removed after trimming an offset spline

I have a fully defined spline and offset spline (left figure), after trimming the offset excess segments (red circles) the offset spline loses its constraint and dimension (right figure). Is there any way to avoid this?

No, I have not found one.   The best thing you can do is ignore the overhang unless it gives you an issue in other sketches or sketch profiles.  The profile above is still usable without trimming.

The problem is that sometimes I have to modify the offset dim, and the only way is to delete the offset spline to make a new one. F360 should keep the constraint, and the dim, and add coincident constraints at the ends of the offset spline, looks like a bug to me.

In this model, the overhang of the offset spline is not hurting you.  If you do not trim it, you can edit the offset dimension anytime you desire.
