[Multiple packs] Craftable Build items don't always flag packs in the Gallery

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.73.57.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All listed in my post below
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) Go into Live mode on an empty lot 2) Craft an object amongst those listed in the list at the end of my post. If needed, go into Build mode and add the required objects on the lot. 3) If you needed specific objects to craft an item, go back to Build mode and remove them from the lot (either sell them or put them in your household inventory) 4) Save the lot (or the room where the crafted object is) in the Gallery 5) In the Gallery, inspect that lot/room, and check if any pack is flagged. It should match the pack required to craft that object in Live mode.
What happens when the bug occurs? In the Gallery, some crafted items will flag a pack when saving a lot/room in step 4, some will not, and there is no apparent logic behind this consistency.
What do you expect to see? Either all crafted items flag their pack of origin and appear in the "Show used items" list, either they do neither.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

As previously reported here for the bug which was on April 2021 Laundry List, craftable Build items don't consistently flag their packs in the Gallery. Several types of crafted objects or individual crafted objects created in Live Mode and left on lots or rooms exported to the Gallery may or may not flag their DLC of origin, but do not appear in the list of used items in the Gallery Preview pop ups.

 

With a friend, we've noticed so far the following. (This is an non exhaustive list.)

 

Craftable items which often flag their pack of origin:

 

  • [Multiple packs] Food items that were fully cooked/baked with an oven or a microwave often flag their pack or origin.
    • If their preparation was interrupted for any reason, they don't seem to flag their pack on their own.
    • It seems to depend on which individual dish was cooked.
  • [Multiple packs] Drinks often (but not always) flag their pack of origin.
    • It seems to depend on which drink is obtained.
    • It can occur with drinks crafted through [Multiple packs] mixology, [EL] fizzing juice, [SE] vending machines…
  • [Multiple packs] Gardening plants often flag their pack of origin

Craftable items which never flag their pack of origin:

  • [CD] Gourmet pet food
  • [S] Flower arrangements
  • [IL] Individual kawa drinks
  • [DU] Kebab Pizza (Perhaps other pizza toppings from this DLC do not flag it either.)
  • [OR] Lotions
  • [ROM] Cauldron potions
  • [SD][BYSP] Individual drinks from drink trays
  • [CKSP] Fully prepared ice creams
  • [MHSP] Popcorn bowls prepared with the popcorn machine
  • [NKSP] Knitted Build objects
  • [PSP] Chalk Séance circles

Since everything seems to be inconsistent, are crafted objects supposed to make a lot or a room require their packs of origin?
