Publishing Fields With Expressions not Working?

What I did:

• Created a new Fusion Composition
• Added a Text+ Node
• Changed the Size field to an Expression and set it to a static value like 1.0
• Published the Size field
• Checked the Modifiers tab for the Text+ node and the value for Text1:Size remains at 0, even if I change the value of the expression

If I remove the Expression from the original Size field and change the value with the slider, the published value is updated normally.

Also, if I try to use an expression on a different field from a different node that references the first field (that also has an expression), the second field's value will also not be updated.

Interestingly, I can reference a field that is based on an expression if I do it on the same node. In that case, the second field's value is correctly updated.

Is this a bug/limitation? Is there a way reference a field that is based on an expression? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Change the order. Publish first, then put the expression on the published value.

Thank you! That does work! Such a simple solution… Appreciate the response.
