    Unity version is 2020.3.15f2.
    This will work if you use the exact same block in an update or output context.
    Is this a spec? Is it a bug?

    Hello, your description is poorly written and I don't get whats the actual problem.
    Using this node in initialize does not make much sense as life of particle will be always 0 during initialization.
    Initialization is called once at the beggining, while Update and Output contexts are called constantly.

    Oh, I see.
    I was mistaken.
    I thought Set Position Over Life set the position change in the lifecycle, and the actual position change was done by internal processing.
    In fact, it itself acquires the passage of the lifetime and changes the position.
