ObjectActivation of Triggers will not survive back to menu after LegEnd (Save/Load)

I've created a complex mission with many inactive/active triggers and conditional activation by object activation.

After going to menu, mainly after a leg end, the activations don't survive this.

For testing/reproduction:

Create 4 Triggers:

1. TriggerFalseFalse
Activated = False
DefaultActivated = False

2. TriggerFalseTrue
Activated = False
DefaultActivated = True

3. TriggerTrueFalse
Activated = True
DefaultActivated = False

4. TriggerTrueTrue
Activated = True
DefaultActivated = True

Absolutly independed of the type of the trigger (tested with Property/Proximity and AirportLandingTrigger) and the state of the Activated Flag when leaving the mission.

The state of "Activated" after re-join the mission is the value of DefaultActivated

1. TriggerFalseFalse
Activated = False
DefaultActivated = False

2. TriggerFalseTrue
Activated = True
DefaultActivated = True

3. TriggerTrueFalse
Activated = False
DefaultActivated = False

4. TriggerTrueTrue
Activated = True
DefaultActivated = True

From my point of view, the root cause is the saved SPB file, because those values are included there in this state (Activated=DefaultActivated, not current state). And of course, after loading this SPB, the state is as saved in SPB.

Any idea to keep the state of activated flag when the user is leaving and re-joing the mission?

Thanks in advance,

Do you know what the intended use of DefaultActivated is? I can't find any documentation for it.

Not really. The only thing I've seen in the PropDefs is "Default state of activate flg". When, why and which UseCase is unknown to me.

But this was not always in the sim, I noticed it for the first time in December/January, when the triggers of the BushTripInjector from Leg 2 did not work anymore, because this was not set. Set then to true and everything was fine in this early state of BTI. I had no further thoughts about it in Jan.
