P: Calling `applyDevelopPreset` with a plugin preset removes all photo Corrections

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Calling  applyDevelopPreset on a preset created within the plugin causes all "Corrections" (Local adjustment Brushes, Radial Filters and Graduated Filters) to be removed from the image in LRC 9.3. All other image settings remain unchanged as expected.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

This is how the preset is administered on a photo in the plugin.

local preset = LrApplication.addDevelopPresetForPlugin(_PLUGIN, editText, edits)photo:applyDevelopPreset(preset, _PLUGIN)

This is the generated preset.

s = {    id = "35819D5A-5461-4BDA-802C-0A2AF7D3E4AC",    internalName = "Exposure  +0.3  1.8",    title = "Exposure  +0.3  1.8",    type = "Develop",    value = {        Exposure2012 = 1.8,    },    version = 0,}

Applying this preset changes the intended value of exposure, but also removes any Corrections (Local Adjustment brushes, Radial and Graduated Filters) on an image. All other settings remain unaffected.

Currently, as a workaround I'm having to do this to keep copying existing Corrections on an image onto the edits for the preset:

edits.PaintBasedCorrections = photoSettings.PaintBasedCorrectionsedits.CircularGradientBasedCorrections = photoSettings.CircularGradientBasedCorrectionsedits.GradientBasedCorrections = photoSettings.GradientBasedCorrectionslocal preset = LrApplication.addDevelopPresetForPlugin(_PLUGIN, editText, edits)photo:applyDevelopPreset(preset, _PLUGIN)

This behaviour was not present in LRC 9.2 and prior.

I originally raised this issue on the  Adobe Community forum and it was replicated by other members. They've directed me to raise a bug report here.

And could I be directed to where I can upload a sample plugin that highlights this error? And please let me know if there's any other information I can provide to help in solving this.

Please fix this issue, because the clients of my Relative Adjustments plug-in are experiencing this issue also.
