Workbench sending wrong engineering data to APDL

  Hello,
  
  I added a material to the Engineering Data in Workbench R19. After solving with initial temperature value of 200°C i get the error message:
  
  *** WARNING ***                         CP =       0.484   TIME= 15:21:05
  Material property ALPX of material 1 is evaluated at a temperature of
  0, which is below the supplied temperature range. Temperature range
  checking terminates.
  
  As you can see in the picture, I have defined the temperature range of the thermal expansion from 200 to 400 °C:
  
  when i save the input file Workbench is sending to APDL you can see that the temperature range is missing. Afert mpdata,aplx there are no mptemp,1,200 and mptemp,2,400 commands:
```

  why is the definition of the temperature range missing in the input file, although it is defined in the engineering data ?
