Import of *MT.tmx in Trados Studio 2022 results in empty TM.

Question

I have just installed Trados Studio 2022 as a replacement for my 2019 version. My first translation was sent with 2 tmx-files containing results from machine translation. An import of these files did not result in other than an empty TM. 
 I followed instructions from another thread and was able to get a result - BUT in Studio the translation does not appear with the mark AT to signal that it concerns a machine translation. 
 I can tell you that the tmx-content displayed correctly in Studio 2019.

 So your problem is not that you import and you get an empty TM? You solved that one? It's just that you no longer see an AT status for a TMX created off a machine translation project. You have highlighted the original translation memory format attribute, which is Translators Workbench and not machine translation specifically. The important thing is that the creationID is "MT!". 
 
 However, this will only work in later versions of Studio if the SDLTM was created in an older version of Studio. The reason for this is that a few years ago a decision was taken to change the import behaviour so that the act of importing was essentially considered an approval on your part for the segments to be used as a Translation Memory... ie. they are now approved and not just unedited MT. 
 The best solution I can suggest is you penalise the TM you created from this TMX so it always gets a 99% match or lower. IF you have imported the TMX into an existing SDLTM already then create a filter mismatch penalty so you get the results like this when they come from TUs created by MT!:

Thanks for making me aware Paul - it seems this particular case is fixed in the upcoming Studio 2022 SR1 release, but we have another instance where alignment TMX files with Draft confirmation level is not imported correctly, either, and I will prioritize that with the team as well.
