Reversing keyframes in Adobe Animate ruins shape tweens

Just as the title says.
If you have a project where everything is set up on dozens and hundreds of layers of shape tweens, trying to reverse the frames will ruin everything.

I believe it has something to do with the Hint system.

Does anyone know a workaround?
Thank you in advance

Another way would be to copy frames - paste frames of your shape tweens into a new symbol and then control the instance of that symbol using keyframes and the Properties Panel to Play Once and/or Play Reverse.

If you copy the frames and put them on a layer above you can reverse the frames with no issue when using shape hint.
