Identity mob menu not populating aquired mobs

[jameston44]

Has anyone experienced the identity mob menu not showing mobs previously acquired/granted in game play when starting an existing world?

I am using fabric loader 1.18.2 and 1.18.2 identity, architectury... required apis

In survival I have killed and acquired most of the common mobs and they will populate in the identity mob menu. However, when I save and close the game then reopen the identities are missing from the ` mob menu. The only way I have been able to get the ` menu to repopulate previously acquired identities is to /kill my player or /identity revoke a previously acquired mob and then /identity grant.

If you have seen this what are your work arounds? Should I submit a bug report or am I the only one encountering this issue?
