Rotating Assets need to receive Specification Attributes from their Classification not just the Rotating Item

I made a Classification (BOILER), checked the box so that it generates the Description, made it so that it works with both Items and Assets, configured 7 Attributes to be used with both Items and Assets, and then 3 more Attributes (STATEID, NATLBD, and YRBUILT) to be used only with Assets. So, 10 Attributes in total, but the last 3 should not appear on the Item record's Specs.

I made a Rotating Item record and put it in the Classification I made and filled in the seven Attribute (Specification) values. All good there.

I made a Rotating Asset record that references that Rotating Item. It applied everything that the Item record has. However, the Asset record is not showing the 3 additional Attributes.

I need it to also apply the 3 Attributes that were configured to apply to Asset records.
