Serial device not added correctly

Is there a bug in the Serial app?

Pi 4
64 bit OS (also present in 32 bit systems)
Openplotter 3.2.0 all latest updates added
M.2 SSD storage device

I plug in a serial device to carry nmea data into SignalK, it is recognised as /dev/ttyUSB0 and I assign it the Alias /dev/ttyOP_nmeain and click apply in the Serial app.

I go to connections, select the device and click Auto to add.

SignalK shows the message .....cannot open/dev/ttyOP_nmeain

If I do a 

Code:

ls -ahl /dev/ | grep ttyOP

I see no output.

If I add a symlink

Code:

sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyOP_nmeain

Then restart signalK there is no error message and I can see all my data.

The problem is that the symlink is not persistent but that should be fixable.

Although the symlink disappears over reboot and I can't use the device, my openplotter.conf still has the line:

Code:

[UDEV]
serialinst = {'ttyOP_nmeain': {'device': 'ttyUSB0', 'vendor': '0x1106', 'product': '0x3483', 'port': '1-1.4:1.0', 'serial': '', 'remember': 'dev', 'data': 'NMEA 0183', 'moreInfo': 'VL805 USB 3.0 Host Controller VIA Technologies, Inc.'}}
