I set up my Photoshop file to have 16 comps, but when I turned those layers into a smart object, and then opened the smart object, the comps were gone

The layer comps tool is a game changer for me and I’m starting to really understand how to use it but after setting up 16 cops yesterday they all disappeared when I made my layers into a smart object to apply a smart filter using raw camera, filter. There’s a chance that if I read the fine print, I would’ve known that layer comps are not supported inside of smart objects?
