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

Question

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".

I already tried with in PLAXIS 2D 2023.1 with a Plate element and it works fine: 
 
 (I promise I did not change it manually)

Thanks for the quick response Stefanos! I am still working in Plaxis V22.02. So hopefully it's fixed in V23 then, i will update and check. But i trust you that it works. Thanks!

Hello again, 
 I just tried it with PLAXIS 2D V22.02 and it worked immediately for me. 
 So, perhaps we can check in more detail via a Case: https://bentleysystems.service-now.com/csp

On the page that opens, can you select the Bentley IMS? You will use your Bentley credentials to log in as the CONNECTION Client. 
 Please let me know if that works out. 
 The Bentley Identity Management Service (or Bentley IMS for short) is the web service ( https://ims.bentley.com/ ) that manages the Bentley Cloud Services profiles (also called Bentley IMS accounts) that exist for the users in your organization, and also verifies the user's credentials when they sign in to Bentley through the CONNECTION Center ( https://connect.bentley.com/ ). 
 Bentley IMS authentication lets users log in to a datasource using the credentials of their Bentley IMS account.
