“Preview” issue in SQ

Isn’t the point of preview to give us a chance to scope out the defenders so we can plan our team?
If so, add that it’s not working in SQ to the list of bugs in the game.
In an event that has an entry fee that is not refunded, you’d think we should be able to preview the quest, see that it has certain classes, select our team accordingly and enter the quest without the defenders changing. Yes they’re hidden, but that shouldn’t matter. If it does matter, why have the preview option?
I previewed Threat Level 5 and saw 1 Cosmic, 2 Skill, 1 Science, 2 Mystic and 1 Tech.
When I entered, there was 1 Cosmic, 1 Skill, 2 Science, 0 Mystic and 3 Tech.
Not an end of the world problem, but is it too much to ask for something in this damn game to work properly?
And before the usual suspects ask for screenshots, no, of course I don’t have any. Why would anyone think to take screenshots of that on their first go?

To be able to Preview what the exact random champs will be for that particular entrance would defeat that purpose.
I think in earlier times, the Preview button wasn’t even visible for those type of quests.
So maybe they are now letting you preview it just from the standpoint of seeing the layout, how many nodes there are, knowing energy cost, seeing if there are multiple branches, etc.
But WITHOUT being able to see the actual defenders, which are HIDDEN because it is a Limited Entry side quest.
While you can’t see exactly which defenders are going to be on your path, they’ve added this new nifty button during Preview allowing you to see which five defenders will potentially be on each node. You can scroll through those and find which ones would be most problematic for you, and plan for that contingency.
