Normal map issues after converting to CC3+

I just tried to convert 3 of my characters to CC3+ and this is what happened. The normal map is all messed up.  See the below photo. -Seems to happen on anything I try and convert that using a B&W bump map.
CC3 is trying to convert the bump to normal and that is the issue. Is this something that can be fixed? maybe provide an option so we can choose if the normal map is bump or normal??

Hi Dorothy

If this is a repeatable issue, perhaps you could enter it in the Feedback Tracker and let the CC team have the character to test. Thanks.

This happens to almost all 3rd party content available in the marketplace, and a significant amount of content that is available on the main Content Store as well.

Is this content for which there is only a bump map for the head? CC3+ characters include part of the neck in the head texture, so if there is no body bump map, issues may crop up.

Just speculating, because thus far I have had no conversion problems, but then again the concerned characters all had normal maps.

EDIT: Never mind, there is a much better explanation here: https://forum.reallusion.com/FindPost451489.aspx.
