Can't load entries synchronously after loading table with TableReference from collection name

I want to load from script several localization tables by using GetTableAsync passing the TableReference of each one, so then I can use LocalizedString.GetLocalizedString().Result synchronously. I was using TableReferences with the table collection name set, but I couldn’t get the localized strings synchronously, LocalizedString.GetLocalizedString().Result always returned null. But I tried using the table GUIDs instead, and it works. Is using the collection name not supported for some reason, could it be a bug, or am I missing something?

I’m using the package version 0.10.0, I think I remember it working in 0.9.0, but I’m not 100% sure because I’ve made several code changes since then.

This is some minimal test script where the issue happens:

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Localization;
using UnityEngine.Localization.Settings;
using UnityEngine.Localization.Tables;
using UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations;

public class TestManualTableLoad : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] TableReference tableReference = default;
    [SerializeField] LocalizedString stringFromTable = default;

    IEnumerator Start()
    {
        // Wait for initialization:
        if (!LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation.IsDone)
            yield return LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation;
       
        if (LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation.Status == AsyncOperationStatus.Failed)
        {
            Debug.LogError("Initialization failed");
            yield break;
        }

        // Try to load the table:
        var manualLoadOper = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetTableAsync(tableReference);
        if (!manualLoadOper.IsDone)
            yield return manualLoadOper;

        Debug.Log($"Load status: \"{manualLoadOper.Status}\", result: \"{manualLoadOper.Result}\"");

        string text = stringFromTable.GetLocalizedString().Result;
        Debug.Log($"Localized string: \"{text}\"");
    }
}

If I use a table collection name, the log is:

And using a GUID:

So oddly it seems that when using a name the table actually loads, even if getting the string fails.

Hi,
This looks like a bug. I have a fix and it should be available in the next release 0.11.0.
ETA next week hopefully.
