Limitations to Variable Studio Importing

This is one of those "is this a bug" questions.
When insert a variable studio that's not in a folder that's an ancestor of the part studio I'm including it from, the variable don't work. The variable table shows up in the list just fine, but when I try to use a variable from the table it doesn't show up in the auto complete list and it doesn't work if I type it in manually either.

By ancestor I meant the parent folder, it's parents and so on up to the root of the project.
root
|__folder
|____subfolder
- variable studio a
|__anotherfolder
- part studio b (variables from imported variable_studio_a aren't working here)
You can try to toggle the Variable Studio's "automatically inserted" button and see if that helps.
