'Change Color Temperature over Time' not working with hub variable

Here is a picture of the rule (RM 5.1) in question:

Note: "Control Bulb (ct)" is a hub variable/connector.

Clicking run action does nothing with the above setup, it doesn't even send a command to the connector (which I know from checking "events" on the device page).
If I change the action to "Set Color Temperature" instead, it works perfectly.

  • I am using a HE C-5 Hub if that matters and its on the latest software (2.3.2.141).
  • I am using a hub variable connector in place of bulbs directly as part of a system that allows me to change color temperatures without turning on bulbs. If you'd like more context, here is the guide I followed: https://imgur.com/a/MtWevjh

Also, I did find an old post referencing this as a known bug but apparently it was fixed in a patch long ago. Here is the post in case it matters: Color Temperature Over Time Doesn't Work
