TAS remains constant in my Pilot Logs

Hello,

In all my Pilot Logs, the planned TAS keeps constant along the whole flight, despite the fact that I have configured the climb and descent speeds in the aircraft profile (same happens with default aircraft profile).  

I would expect the TAS to be reduced/increased to the climb/descent TAS in these flight portions. What point do I miss?
I am on the newest SD releases on both PC (3.5.1.0) and iPad/iPhone.

Many thanks, Peter

It calculates the precise time and fuel consumption for every part of your flight including climbs and descents. But the TAS column in the PLOG is the selected cruise speed for the leg.
