Edited transcript not being used for captioning

[E DFR]

What is the correct process for editing captions? Am I missing something, or is this a bug.

I have my sequence finished, I generate the Transcript. I then go through the transcript and edit anything that is incorrect. Break apart or combine sections as they relate to the speakers. Great, looks good. Save my project. 

Then I go to Captions, and select, Create captions from transcript. 

The captions do not contain any of my edits. They are based on the original generated transcript. 

Now I have to go through the entire video again, and make the exact same edits I just did. 

I have more videos to do. Going forward, I guess I will just ignore the transcript (since I am not actually using it for anything at the moment) and only correct the captions? 
This redundent editing must be a glitch - or am I doing something incorrectly?

Edits to text (spellings, incorrect words) should be changed when re-generating captions from an edited transcript.

But "Break apart or combine sections" is likely to do nothing. If you have a final edit, it is better to edit the captions.

@E DFR Stan is correct. Edits to the text should carry over to the captions. I just tried this on my system and it's working as expected. Changes to the transcript splitting and merging the segments will not carry over to captions, as a separate caption engine is deciding where to split of the captions based on timing and how many words fit on a line.

If you're seeing changes to your text transcript not make it into the captions when you gerate the captions, could you make a screen recording showing your process? We'll be able to either spot the issue, or, perhaps uncover a bug. Thanks.
