P: Denoise not applied when included in an import preset (Camera-specific Default)

I have camera-specific presets in Raw Defaults. Those include Denoise being active.

 

When I load CR3 files into ACR via Bridge, the Denoise box is checked but it has NOT been calculated or applied. If I drag the slider or type into the amount box or uncheck and recheck Denoise, THEN it is calculated and applied.

 

There is a visible difference once Denoise runs, no .acr file beforehand, and Denoise takes about 45 seconds per image so its pretty obvious. The preset is posted below.

 

ACR 17.5.0.2318

Intel MacBook Pro w/AMD Radeon Pro 5300M

Sequoia 15.6

The team has reported that the current behavior is as-designed.

 

As such, it is being moved from Bugs to Discussions.

Sorry Rikk I'm confused, its as-designed for the Denoise box to be checked but Denoise not be applied?

 

My workflow now is to load the RAW files, copy the Detail develop settings, and then paste those onto my files. This actually kicks off the Denoise processing even though the checkbox indication hasn't changed.
