Problems with object dissolve

Can anyone replicate this problem?

- Load an object. Load in another version of that object (or clone first object). Place the 2 objects sde by side. So you get 'object (1)' and 'object (2)' in the scene
- activate IPR
- pick one of the objects and open the object properties. Try to set the dissolve of one of the objects to 100% or any value

On my system nothing happens. Also nothing happens if the keyframes are set. Unseen by camera doesn't work either.

if I delete one of the objects from the scene then I can dissolve the object again.

But two objects with different names works fine.

Octane might be instancing LW clones, so you will have to turn that off in the render node.
