Transcribed Sequence not saving with Project File

I've used the transcribe sequence feature for several sequences in a project file. The next day, I open the project and it's gone, along with all my corrections. Why is this data not saved with the project file? How are you meant to work on long form projects?

This may get moved to the public Beta forum. Even though the transcription feature works in the release version (for those who have been granted early access), it is still a Beta feature.

 

The transcription, and edits, are saved in the project file. I tested and this appears true even though I did not create a caption track from it.

 

When reopening, be sure you click on the "Transcript" tab in the Text (Captions) Panel. I found that the default was to open in the Captions tab. Since I had created no captions track, it gave the usual options when there is no caption track: Transcribe sequence, Create new captions track, and Import captions from file - as if there was no transcription. As soon as I clicked on the Transcript tab, it was there with edits.
