Missing or incorrect SmartArt inner shape properties

Hi Team!

I am facing an issue regarding SmartArt shapes in Excel files. The SmartArt shape I have has 2 inner shapes in it, both include a title and a body part which means 4 inner shapes in total. I have set different texts, alternative texts and hyperlink addresses for every inner shape. My problem is that the bodies’ properties (except for text) are lost; they are either empty (e.g: when title is not filled) or the same as the title’s ones (e.g: when title is filled).

I am attaching a demo project with a test file to demonstrate the issue.
excel_smartart.zip (21.4 KB)

Here is its actual output:

---> Sheet1
Main shape properties:
        alttext title: mainalttexttitle
        alttext desc: mainalttextdesc
        link: mainlink
Inner shape1 properties:
        text: text2
        alttext title: 
        alttext desc: 
Inner shape2 properties:
        text: title2
        alttext title: 
        alttext desc: 
Inner shape3 properties:
        text: text1
        alttext title: titlealttexttitle1
        alttext desc: titlealttextdesc1
        link: titlelink1
Inner shape4 properties:
        text: title1
        alttext title: titlealttexttitle1
        alttext desc: titlealttextdesc1
        link: titlelink1

And here is the expected one:

---> Sheet1
Main shape properties:
        alttext title: mainalttexttitle
        alttext desc: mainalttextdesc
        link: mainlink
Inner shape1 properties:
        text: text2
        alttext title: textalttexttitle2
        alttext desc: textalttextdesc2
        link: textlink2
Inner shape2 properties:
        text: title2
        alttext title: 
        alttext desc: 
Inner shape3 properties:
        text: text1
        alttext title: textalttexttitle1
        alttext desc: textalttextdesc1
        link: textlink1
Inner shape4 properties:
        text: title1
        alttext title: titlealttexttitle1
        alttext desc: titlealttextdesc1
        link: titlelink1

I would be grateful if you could assist me.

Thank you,
