Forwarded to devs Wrong DNS settings for alias domain

Atramasis

Basic Pleskian
TITLE:
Wrong DNS settings for alias domain
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 #2 on Ubuntu 16.04
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When the <domain> variable in the DNS template is used, it is not always correctly set in the DNS settings for an alias domain. CNAME is correct, but e.g. the TXT record for DMARC can include an email address and has to be at the domain of the zone. Currently the main domain is used.​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Set a DNS templat with a TXT record:
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:admin@<domain>

Use a domain and an alias domain with the setting "Synchronize DNS zone with the primary domain".
Apply template to main domain.​
ACTUAL RESULT:
The DNS zone for the alias domain has a TXT record:
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]
EXPECTED RESULT:
All <domain> variables from the template should be replaced with the alias domain.
The DNS zone for the alias domain should have a TXT record:
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]

In this case it is a requirement for a correct DMARC setting.​
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I think it is a bug. It can be circumvented now by deselecting the option "Synchronize DNS zone with the primary domain".
