File and Code Templates Not Syncing with Setting Sync

Hello,

I would like to sync my code templates (configured under Editor | File and Code Templates) across my JetBrains IDEs. Yet, when I add a (or modify a default) template, the change does not seem to sync from WebStorm to another IDE.

What is interesting though, if I revert the change of a template to its default, a file is created under <config directory>/settingsSync/fileTemplates/internal/<template name> with the content of “DELETED”. This change is picked up by other other IDEs, and is copied to its setting sync folder, but this will not revert the template on another IDE even it has been modified.

Backup and Sync is on and all settings are synced with “sync settings across all JetBrains IDE products” enabled

May I know if this is a bug? According to the documentation, it should be synced:
