Default Re: Setting to make plugin selection in DAW follow channel selection?

Thanks Jeff!

It's pretty much how I have it configured. I spent many hours on this testing variations of Local Options. It seems that "Expand Fader Function and Backup Function Selected on Attention Change" plays a huge role in the whole setup (bug?).

Let's say I have three identical dialog tracks 1,2,3. Each one has ProQ2 on Insert 1, Pro Compressor on Insert 3, Pro Multiband Dynamics on Insert 5.

Let's say I want FabFilter on 1st Expand Knobs (Local Options: EQ or Insert1), Pro Compressor on 2nd Expand Knobs (Local Options: Dynamics or Insert 3) and Pro Multiband Dynamics on Expanded Faders. Also I want the plug-in window to appear for parameter that I'm currently controlling.

Impossible to do!

Whatever is set as Expand Fader Function affects what Plug-in window will show in PT. In other words: plug-in window defaults to whatever is set as Expand Fader Function Selected on Attention Change!

If I set Expand Fader Function to Insert 5 - I will get Multiband controls on the faders but will not see ProQ2 window on attentioned channel anymore (even if it's targeted and locked)
If I set Expand Fader Function to Insert 1 - I will see appropriate ProQ2 window on attention change but obviously will not get the Pro Multiband controls on faders.
If I swap ProQ2 for Channel Strip I get the same results.

I'm on PT 12.8.3 with S6 18.3
