Experiment DashboardData node doesn't clear on experiment reset

When "Save dashboard data for each replication" is checked the DashboardData node in the experimenter does not clear when the experiment is reset. This isn't a huge issue, but it can cause a model to be very large when there is no active experiment and the model is simple. Is there a reason for this, or would it be possible to change it so that the data is cleared on experiment reset? I post it here so that if someone has a similar issue they can use the following workaround:

1. Uncheck "Save dashboard data for each replication"

2. Click "Run Experiment" and then "Reset Experiment"

3. The data is now cleared, so the smaller file can be saved.

FlexSim 17.1.1

From what I understand it is intentional that it does not reset. The steps you outlined are intended as the options to clear the data after each run, if that is desired. The developers can give you more information, but I believe this is how it is intentionally set up.
