Automate MIDI plugins?

I'm recording some piano pieces into DP as MIDI tracks, and applying the real-time Quantize plugin on some of the tracks in the mixer inserts. I wanted to automate bypassing said plugin at some points in the track, but it doesn't seem to work. Is this not possible? recording automation for the volume slider on the MIDI track works as expected, as does automating the bypass for audio plugins, but no joy on the MIDI Quantize plugin :(

I want to "bump" this post as I'm finding that same problem with a different MIDI-plug "Time Shift", that is...it's "ByPass" won't automate? Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Would be useful.

One workaround would be to create two copies of the track (keep the original muted just for safety/backup). With copy 1, set your plugin as you want it. With copy 2, no plug in. And just delete sections of the track from each of the copies until you've got what you need. I suppose with that, you wouldn't need the plug-in, you could just shift/quantize permanently (since you have the original back there).
