Environment: ArcGIS Pro 2.5
ArcGIS Desktop Layout DLL version: 12.4.0.0
While trying to export and import the same layout, I am losing the map frame's map connection in the layout. If I export the layout and open it normally in ArcGIS Pro, the 'map frame - map' connection is preserved. But, when I do the same using the ArcGIS Pro SDK, the 'map frame-map' connection is lost.

The imported layout (newLayout) does not contain the 'map frame - map' connection. ie. the map frame is empty instead of pointing to the actual map. Is this a bug with the SDK or am I doing something wrong here? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!
