Plaxis plot output python: setting the plottype doesn't update in the exported figure.

I am trying to export plots for structural elements. In one case i prefer to have a distribution plottype instead of deformation. Setting the plottype from python does result in a correct command in the plaxis command lines, however nothing happens. Only once i manually adjust the plottype, the command seems to work. g_o.Plots[-1].PlotType = "distribution".
