Live Model Update option for IFCAlternate task

Apparently the IFCAlternate task is not committed as a transaction after running. That means that any IFC export tasks that run on models with the IFC export setting "write IFC GUIDs to elements" activated can not write those IFC GUIDs back to the model. We tried wrapping the IFCAlternate task in a task sequence in between two Dynamo tasks that were set to Live Model Update, but this didn't help either.

Would it be possible to add a "Live Model Update" option to the IFCAlternate task so IFC GUIDs can be written to the central model?

Andreas - I had never looked into why it was necessary to have an open transaction while running that export - and we have always just rolled it back at the end of it.

We will add a "Live Model Update" option to the task, in a forthcoming 2021 Task Update, to accomodate this.
