"stats" node does not get updated in the model update processes

It seems that for all objects the "stats" node does not get updated in the model update processes. As a result of the "stats" node not being updated to utilize tracked variables (method used in 2017). The stats family of FlexScript commands do not work and error out.

Object obj = current;
double outVal = obj.stats.output.value; //fails
double outVal = obj.stats.input.value; //fails

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.0.1

flexscript tracked variables stats

This is by design. If your object is using the old stats structure, you need to use an older API to access it. Use the getstat() command as explained in detail in the 16.0.0 release notes.

The new Object.stats API syntax (introduced in 17.1.0) only works for new stats structures: objects built after 16.0.
