Filament Autoload question

I have a question about the filament autoload option (MK3S).  I have the filament sensor on and autoload enabled.  I often switch between colors of filament.  I unload one color and then want to load another spool of a different color.  I thought that with the autoload option on all I would need to do is put the new filament in the hole and it would immediately start loading.  It does not.  I have to turn off autoload and go back and "Load filament" manually.

Is this expected behavior or am I doing something wrong?  Note that I was using an older firmware (3.9.0 I think) but I updated to the latest firmware and the same behavior happens.

Maybe this post will help you: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-hardware-firmware-and-software-help/fix-filament-autoload-not-working/#post-152546

Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.
