setCondenserType not working for "WaterCooled" - defaults back to "AirCooled"

I'm trying to add a Water Cooled Chiller to a prototypical building. I downloaded the "AedgOfficeHvacVavChW" measure from BCL and tweaked it a little bit to be used for different HVAC systems depending on user input. In case the user input is "Water Cooled Chiller", the setcondenserType command doesn't work for "WaterCooled" and whenever you try to set it to "WaterCooled", it defaults back to "AirCooled". Has anyone else faced the same issue or knows whats going on here? It works perfectly fine when you're changing the condenser to "EvaporativelyCooled".
