Bevel Modifier - Bump Map Question

A little perplexed. Haven't used the Bevel Modifier in the Deep Material Editor in a good while. Went in the other day when working on a display cabinet.
Applied my material in the Material Template Editor and loaded my bump map at this time. Converted to the Deep Editor, right clicked on Bump and selected Bevel Modifier and set up bevel, no problem except I noticed I lost my bump map in the process. Couldn't figure out for the life of me how to reload the bump map. :wall: .
Question is does this always happen when you use the Bevel Modifier ? Can you reload the bump map ? I don't remember this happening in the past , but maybe I never used the Bevel Modifier when I had a bump map loaded, can't remember :! .

You need to first set up layers under bump maps so you can have more than one type of map. Right click on 'Bump' then select 'Layers',(it will ask if you want to replace whatever was there before, be it your bevel or bump map,- say yes) right click on 'Bump layers', then you can add bevel and then bump under the layers drop down. simply keep right clicking on 'bump layers' to add another map/layer.
