Key Text column empty but ID3 Tag INITIALKEY populated

In the browser collection I would like to display column "Key" in musical format (eg Am, Dbm etc) and column "Key Text" in Open Key format (eg 12m, 5d, etc). My understanding is that "Key Text" column should read ID3 tag INITIALKEY from the file itself, so I have configured Traktor Analyze options like so:

* Musical Key -> Displayed in Traktor -> Musical (this works for column "Key")
* Musical Key -> Written to file tags -> Open Key (this should write open key format to INITIALKEY id3tag)

It seems that the INITIALKEY is correctly populated on the file (I am using mp3tag software to check), but Traktor does not display anything in the column "Key Text".

I have also tried the option Musical Key -> Written to file tags -> Key Text, same result.

Any idea how to solve this?

Actually it seems that the write to INITIALKEY is incosinstent, sometimes Traktor does it sometimes it doesn't. I am very confused

Right click on your collection -> Check consistency to update tags that got changed after import.

I don't know why it isn't working for me. For example I have a track that in mp3tag software shows Key Text (INTIALKEY) with value 3m:

Traktor shows Key Text empty though, even if I use edit on the track or check consistency on the collection.
If I edit manually the Key Text field in mp3tag and then use edit or check consistency in Traktor, then it shows the change. But it doesn't work when it is Traktor writing the tag to the file using "Analyze (async)".
