I think it is working as intended.
I think this is a limitation of this feature: it can override only whole elements, but not sub-elements within elements.
This means that it cannot override individual skins of Composite Structures, individual components of Complex Profiles, individual geometries within a GDL Object.
I think these would be a much bigger undertaking to program, hence the current level of implementation.
