Master document not showing 'First Page Header/Footer' from applied template

[anton.chertok]

There is a correction for Master Documents not showing the First Page heade/Footer - this should be available in the next build - 846

The above message is the only post I could locate about this issue (8 yr old post).  Was it fixed? Because I am still not able to have the generated document show the 'first page header/footer', it shows the "rest of document header/footer".

As suggested in a different post, if I add a section break to the Master Document template it works, with the side effect of it being more like a page break (unwanted as it means first page only has document title and lots of white space).

Are there any workarounds? Can this be re-visited by the devs?

Currently the only template that I have put header/footer info into is the master document template, so I know it is being picked up as generated document shows the rest of document header/footer from the template.

I haven't tried to use 1st page, but I did a Cover Page with a different Header / Footer which works.
