Subtitles Styles require selecting every time in templates

Question

We use templates to produce news segments in premiere pro (.mogurt). We generate captions for each them daily. Within the last two updates as of today, subtitles will revert to standard despite having a style selected previously. Every encode now requires one extra step.

While we're at it, does anyone at Adobe actually use Subtitles in this way, it's tedious and disjointed. It's a great feature that could use a little help implementing better. Everything should be in one tab and make sense when using it. I know, I'm using it wrong lol.

The template is a project that uses mogurts, not sure of how else they would be used. Anyway, after the clips are transcoded for subtitles, we create the track and it lays down the text, but it now uses default text UNLESS we hit the text STYLE button. Even if it's set to our custom style, it won't work unless we choose it again from the drop down. I hope this gets improved as it's an incredibly useful feature.

Our workflow is pretty simple, we have a mogurt with news graphics and drop in new video every day and create captions for the stories within premiere. The default style is terrible, so we just use a bolder text, single line.

While we're at it, is there a way to NOT have a text appear on screen until the next word is spoken? I see minimums but not maximums. If someone says "Hi" and doesn't speak for 30 seconds, "Hi" is on screen for 30 seconds.
