Cannot reference Barrel string resources in Watch Face settings.xml

According to Monkey Barrel documentation, barrel resources should be accessible in the project via the @IconLibrary.Drawables.myIcon notation.  This suggests @MyBarrel.Strings.myString would be a valid way to reference a string from the app.  This isn't working as expected when referenced inside settings.xml for the Watch Face using this barrel.

Like user  wrote in "How to reference barrel resources from app xml", I am attempting to reference a barrel's String resources inside my Watch Face's settings.XML.   I'd expect to see the actual strings, but instead I see the references.

    Please post your screenshots here (as a comment). There's a bug in the forum that doesn't allow to add pictures to the question, but it's better to have the pictures in the thread and not in a third party website.

    However I have to say that you seem to be trying to use the same thing that the other user tried UNSUCCESSFULLY. So don't open a new bug about it. Maybe it would be better to ask in the same (other) thread if anyone found a solution...

    Hey, thanks.  The other user posted in the Discussion forum, and there was at least one other person in the thread with the same issue, but I searched and didn't find a Bug Report matching it.  They used a workaround, but nobody opened a ticket.  Since I'd like to use the barrel the correct way (rather than a shared file workaround), and this does seem like a bug, I thought it would be best to open the first ticket on it.
