P: SDK: photo:applyDevelopPreset() changes all settings, not just those of preset

[Update: There are two symptoms of the same underlying bug introduced in LR 7.3:

- preset:getSetting() returns all develop settings, not just those set by the preset

- photo:applyDevelopPreset() changes all settings, not just those of the preset

See this post for a script demonstrating both:

-- John Ellis]

I use a script that uses "photo:applyDevelopPreset". If i use it with a partial preset (that have only a few or only one setting) it resets all other settings to default.
Reverting to previous version until this is fixed.

    Please fix this in the next update, it breaks MIDI2LR functionality and a lot of people are using it and depend on it working properly.

    create a partial develop setting, that change only one setting, for instance white balance, and name it "New Preset".
    create a script that calls photo:applyDevelopPreset, like this:

    local LrApplication = import 'LrApplication'
    local catalog = LrApplication.activeCatalog()
    catalog:withWriteAccessDo("ApplyNR", function()
    local myPreset
    for _, folder in ipairs(LrApplication:developPresetFolders()) do
    if folder:getName() == "User Presets" then
    for _, preset in ipairs(folder:getDevelopPresets()) do
            if preset:getName() == "New Preset" then 
              myPreset = preset
    end end end end
    for _,photo in pairs(catalog:getTargetPhotos()) do
        photo:applyDevelopPreset(myPreset)
    end
    end)
    This should change only white balance, but resets all other develop settings to default.
