TimeComp deletes expression when play head reset

I have a midiIn channel to toggle the play par on a TimeComp. It works fine until I press the play head reset button on the timelime, when I press the play head reset it deletes the expression from the midi null CHOP thats bound to the play par on the timeCOMP.

Is this a bug? I need to be able to use the play head reset function as I have the project sync’d with VCV rack/hardware. Ideally I’d like to have one button from my midi controller reset/start/stop both the TD timeline and reset clock/sequencers in VCV rack/hardware .I need to be able to start everything on cue together as I have keyframes controlling certain parameters over time.

I’m just learning python so it’d be great if there is a way to solve this with python.

Also do I need to reference the timeComp in the animationComp?

I’m also getting cook dependency warnings on my null from the midi, is this because thats being controlled from the same timeComp?

Thanks
