Niagara Data Channels and emitter scalability settings

Having successfully created NDCs many times, I noticed while using the Niagara Debugger that Overridden Spawn Scale counts on the emitter that are set while in scalability mode don’t seem to be honored. Currently using 5.6.

Regular non-NDC systems do honor scalability settings. I tested by setting the value to something absurd like 100. A non NDC spurted out a fountain of particles, the NDC version remains consistent no matter the inputted value.

Is there something about Spawn Conditional where it only spawns explicit values and doesn’t handle scalability scales? Are there additional steps required? I didn’t find any script functions or parameters aside from global scale that I could use.

Any help appreciated.
