When reloading Ableton project, why does the Kontakt Automation Parameter name not show?

See video... https://youtu.be/bCsG2b2bL0I

If I had a lot of parameters being automated, this would be a train wreck.

Seems to be a new feature of Kontakt 7.. nice. Or is this specific to Player?

See image.. actually ... seems it is specific to VST (vs VST3)? this is a screenshot after loading a project with Kontakt 6 (Full).. both as VST and VST3. Seems 7 is only VST3. However, note that VST retains the parameter name (track 3).

    I have just tried this in case it's any help (full Kontakt here.)

    No video, but having done the exact same test with 40s very own keys, you get the parameter on the first load, but not on reload.

    In comparison, doing this with Arturia Augmented Strings (just by way of comparison) does retain the name of the parameter on reload.

    Signed up on the forums to ping this thread- I just updated to Kontakt 7 and am running into this. I have some Kontakt instruments in my default set with parameters configured so they show up on my hardware controllers, now it's just numbers.

    If I open Kontakt and reload the instrument then the names come back, but it's pretty annoying to do this every time. Thanks @Jeremy_NI !
