Interesting little bug in CA, or I am doing something wrong? Wall materials stud spacing to Framing dialog.

Easily by bypassed but still wanted to know if I was doing something wrong or is this a bug in CA. 

 

I was about to build the framing for a wall with 24oc studs, normally I just uncheck use wall framing material in the farming dialog and change the spacing. But thought I should try adjusting the wall itself because that would be useful for other projects that might have different stud spacing in different walls. So opened the wall and seams that stud spacing is controlled by the plan materials. Copied the existing fur stud material and changed its name and the spacing. but when i go back the framing dialog it still has stud spacing at 16oc. 

 

I want to know if i am doing some incorrectly?

Notice in your last snippet that the stud spacing field is greyed out. This means that the spacing is being determined by the Main Layer (the material as shown in your 1st and 2nd pic).

yes but when build it its still at 16OC should it not change in the grayed number as well?

Nope. It is simply a setting to override the Main Layer material option. You can manually change it to any value you choose. It is not a report.
