[i3] 4.8.1 -> 4.10.2 append_layout creates rather than appends

I've migrated to 4.10.2. I had been using 4.8.1.

I have saved layouts that I would like to append to my workspace.

Rather than the layout getting appended, I am seeing an "unnamed" workspace
created with the layout content.

This is the type of command that I use to append:

i3-msg "workspace my_workspace; append_layout /home/user/.i3/my_layout.json"

Why is append_layout creating a new workspace rather than appending to an
existing named workspace?


This is the layout json file that I am using:

"floating": "auto_off",
"fullscreen_mode": 1,
