Securities snapshot lost upon restarting Moneydance

Since upgrading to version 2017.8 (1691), I notice the securities price snapshots I create with my own Java extensions are lost when Moneydance restarts. I do not see this issue on prior versions of Moneydance. I use the following statement sequence:
private CurrencyType security;
private double newPrice;
private int newDate;
CurrencySnapshot newSnapshot = this.security.setSnapshotInt(this.newDate, 1 / this.newPrice);
this.security.syncItem();
Following this, my new price snapshots appear in Moneydance and control balances in the UI. So everything seems fine until I exit Moneydance and restart with the same file. After restart all other changes are there, but these new snapshots are missing.
Am I skipping a step?

   Hi john.hillery2,

   This might be worth a look...

   Per the preview build change log,
   http://infinitekind.com/previewdl/current/changelog.txt
   build 1693 - fixed bug in which imported changes to historical currency rates or security prices were not saved across restarts

   If you purchased Moneydance thru the Moneydance website (as opposed to the Apple store or elsewhere) then you can d/l the preview build - currently MD 2017.10 (1704) here:

   Sounds promising - thanks Kevin.
   However, I put on 2017.10 (1704) and still have the same problem.

   I tried several code variations and found a change that persists my securities price snapshots. I now need to call syncItem() on the snapshot to survive Moneydance restarts:
   CurrencySnapshot newSnapshot = security.setSnapshotInt(newDate, 1 / newPrice);
   newSnapshot.syncItem();

   This discussion can be marked resolved.
