Session attributes don't work in Service Simulator

Session attributes (returned in the sessionAttributes JSON object in the response) do not work in the Service Simulator. They are not included in the next request for the same session. When using an Echo device, session attributes work correctly. Can the Service Simulator be fixed to handle session attributes correctly? Thanks, brian
