@meisammaleki can you try your scenario with a newer version?

[meisammaleki]

The only way for check newer version is to use ACS simulator which I'm not sure about its functionality, also I cannot upgrade the current environment to newer one

[DaanHoogland]

no @meisammaleki , in a simulator this functionality can not be verified.

I'll try and find the time to verify it in a newer version.
