Export to Microsoft Project in Primavera Professional 19.12.0.34128

One of project engineers has noticed that unless you actually go into the template ( open it as if you wanted to edit it) you are using to export from Professional 19.12.0.34128 to Microsoft Project you only get the default columns in your project file, not the columns from the template. However if you do open the template and then shut it the export works as expected.

Is there a fix for this? Has anyone else noticed this fault in this version?

Thanks
