First page footer is not working!

See original GitHub issue

I have found this code through one of the pull requests/threads. It is supposed to work but somehow it is creating an empty page for first attribute. default is working as it is supposed to.

const footer1 = doc.createFooter();
  footer1.createParagraph('Footer on another page');
  const footer2 = doc.createFooter();
  footer2.createParagraph('Footer on first page');

  doc.addSection({
    footers: {
      default: footer1,
      first: footer2
    },
    pageNumberStart: 1
  });

version: 4.7.1

What could be the possible reason for this?

Got it working, you need the titlePage attribute for first page headers and footers to work

I have amended demo 14 to showcase this:
