Question Localize String Event not happening on Start

I've created an empty scene, added a TextMeshPro object, and put a Localize String Event component on it. I linked the Update String to be the Text field on the TMP component. A super basic setup.



But when I hit play, the string shows the default text.

However in the Inspector I can toggle any checkbox on the Localize String Event component and the text updates to be the correct text. Or if I pick a different Locale in the top right corner of the game window the string also updates.

Why does the string not show the localized value on Start? What am I missing to get it to show the correct value on Start?

Unity 2019.4.39, latest version of the Localization package (1.4.3)

 

I updated to 1.4.4 and that did not affect the issue.

I duplicated the TMP object, removed the manually added Localize String Event component, and added a new one through Right Click-> Localize. The duplicate one worked correctly. I looked through the differences, and the auto created one had the Update String event set to Editor And Runtime whereas the manually created one was only Runtime Only. If I set the auto one to Runtime Only, it has the same behavior of not updating until I toggle a property on the Localize String Event component.

So I got the issue resolved by setting the event to Editor And Runtime, but it seems there is a bug with the Localized String Event script not getting initialized correctly upon entering play mode when the action is set to Runtime Only. I made a build, and both the manual and the auto created objects work correctly, so the issue is only limited to play mode in the editor.
