TM mode goes to 000 EPR if AP is off

[Genista]

Hello.

 

With a fully configured PMS and all that;

If I press TM mode but autopilot is OFF, it will command 000 EPR and retard the throttles.

Is it by design/ on purpose ?

Really annoying issue and being ignored by team!

From what I can find. 
For the climb, engage CMD with VNAV selected and then select TM to follow the PMS EPR.
TM is also compatible in semiautimatic mode and can be used with CWS engaged and or when using IAS or VS modes instead of VNAV.
TM at a bare minimum needs a FD and CWS/CMD on to operate VNAV or Semiautomatic performance operations to be guided by PMS.
