Joint rotation limits not saved with scene (Maya 2018.4)

[Anonymous]

(Maya 2018.4)
I am working with a (referenced) joint hierarchy where I needed to limit the joint rotation through the option provided in the joint attribute editor.
When I save the scene and reopen it the limits I previously set up are reset to -360 through 360. Is this a new bug or old forgotten bug? I think I remember mention of this half a decade ago maybe.

Hi @Anonymous

Does this happen with one specific file or can you reproduce it easily on a new file?

If this is indeed an issue with Maya I'd like to gather as much information as possible to update the developers with it.

Hi!

I can confirm this, changing transformLimits (values besides enabled or disabled for translate, rotate and scale) will not be added to the Reference Edits or saved to the scene-file.

Hey all!

Thanks for testing this @mspeer. I was also able to test it and can confirm the issue so I went ahead and logged this with our developers so they can work on a fix for a future update/release of Maya.

Hi @mspeer

I tried to reproduce this again by changing the rotate values to -90 and 90 then referencing it but it's working as expected.

Can you possibly provide some steps and/or a scene file for me to pass along to the developers?

Hi!

@sean.heasley

The problem happens after referencing and editing the attributes in the master scene, where the reference was imported to.

I attached 2 scene-files and a screenshot that shows that changes to Min and Max are not added to the Reference Edit List, so they also can't be stored with the master scene.

Hi @mspeer

Thanks! I went ahead and passed all of this along to development.
