When using connect with Options it appears that the token/variable replacement doesn’t occur until latter. By that things like $Name$ which is different than connect using templates. We use $Name$ here in several places in our connections as we use Cyberark EPV, this makes it easier for user to duplicate and change the connections.
I’m not sure I understand the issue. Can you provide a video or screenshots demonstrating the issue? To discuss this privately you can open a support ticket as well.
