Knowledge Fusion changes parametric expressions to constant values...

Hi,

I was trying to use the capabilities of knowledge fusion to suppress/unsuppress different features (in this case these were "SCALE BODY" features) using one parameter. The X,Y,Z scale factors in SCALE BODY feature are controlled by expressions so they are parametric values.
In order to accomplish this task I created the "switch" parameter with boolean type (true or false). Than I used the "adapt esixting object operation" from the knowledge fusion toolbar and I got the attributes for each SCALE BODY operation that I can use in knowledge fusion environment. Thanks to the fact that each of this operation has a child rule called suppressed I can use my "switch" parameter to control the suppression of all the features (I set this child rule to switch:). Unfortunately when I do this all the parameters used in SCALE BODY are being changed to constant values.
Can somebody explain me why does it happen and how to avoid it?
