Audio Presets Not Working All The Time

I am not certain if this is a bug but I will explain and see if others have had this issue.

I use combinations of effects on audio files often and instead of choosing the same three effects and adjusting every time I have created a preset by Ctrl+selecting each of the effects I want to copy and then right click to save preset.  I name the preset and then locate it in my effects panel.  

Here is where things get strange.  Sometimes I have no issues with this process at all.  I can click and drag the new preset over to an audio file on my timeline and all of the previously selected effects are added to the file. But it seems very hit or miss.  Today I created a new preset and used it once on an audio file.  Then added a second audio file but this time when I drag the effect to the file on the timeline it adds the effects to that item but none of the changes are there.  i.e. a saved preset with the audio reduced to -10 level, and delay of .3 seconds with feedback and mix set to 20% each and a pitch shift of +2.0.  But when it is dragged to the file sometimes these are preset but other times the three selections show up in the effect controls panel but the levels remain at their default values.. 

And like I say it seems like it's very hit or miss.  

Has anyone else experienced this?  I have the CC version with constant updates. 

Windows 11

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
