Property Loader does not load limits

I am trying to use a Property Loader to load my limits.  They do not load.

 

I have two property loader files, one for generic settings and another for test limits.  The generic settings are just simple variables which load fine.  The test limits are attempting to load the Low/High variables of a NumericLimitTest's Limits container.  Below is a modified snippet from my test limits file.

 

<PropertyGroup name='Group 1' id='f3216169-cf80-4f4e-bf91-108fc49259c5' description='Description for Group 1'>
<Sequence>,<Category>,<PropertyLookup>,<Value>
Test Suite,My Test,Result {Container}
Test Suite,My Test,Result.Units {String},Volt
Test Suite,My Test,Limits {Container}
Test Suite,My Test,Limits.Low {Number},1.234
Test Suite,My Test,Limits.High {Number},5.678
Test Suite,My Test,Comp {String},GELE
<PropertyGroup>

 

I can add one of the lines from my settings file (e.g. MainSequence,{Locals},MyVariable {Number},123) and it loads fine.  It seems that TestStand doesn't like the the lines for my NumericLimitTest steps.

 

I have done nothing to the file produced by the Import/Export tool other than change the Low/High values.

I found my problem.  

 

I had the Import Value To property set to <Current Sequence> rather than <All Sequences>.

 

Once again I had to rummage through dozens of properties to find the one that caused a problem.  I understand that some folks think that many options are great, but frequently fewer are better.
