CustomModelData Stops animations in 1.21.10

Hi,
I have recently started using objmc and I need a lot of models with animations. There's not enough colorable items in the game for my needs so I resorted to using customModelData (CMD) in the "new" form of a string. As soon as I set up the CMD on my item that had a looping animation the animation stopped. I tried a bunch of things to get it working and I have spent the last 1/2 a week of my spare time on it. I finally resorted to just asking since there's no harm in that, especially if someone has figured it out already.

Thank you in advance!
