Item Type information does not display in Properties with Parametric Cell

Not sure if this is by design or a bug, but item type information placed at the model level for parametric cells do not display in the Element Properties panel unlike other cell types. I can still access the information by clicking on the item in the properties tree, however this is very tedious for cells that repeated throughout my model. 

Parametric Cell
no item type information in initial properties tree when selecting cell (Device ID)
My parametric cell does have 2 variations
Item Type "Device ID" is attached in the model

Shared Cell
Item type information displays in initial properties tree when selecting cell, see "Device ID"
Item Type "Device ID" is attached in the model
