How do I record drawer in open position, then closed position using animations?

When I record a scene, the drawer defaults to whatever position it was last in…

You must make a copy of the drawer in each position and attach different per-scene tags/layers to them. Turn on the right tag for a scene and turn off the other tag, then update the scene. Do that for both scenes.

If you are up to it, you can use a Dynamic Component to do the equivalent.

Thanks will try that Steve!
I suspect updating was the culprit…
