Can geometry optimization be done together with spin constrain (using cdft)?

I read the manual and found that there is no geometry optimization with spin constrain.

Note: No gradients have been implemented for the spin constaints case. Geometry optimizations can only be performed using the charge constaint.


However, when I add "optimize" in the task line together with spin constrain, the optimization can run.

I am wondering if it is true, or I just get something wrong?

The input of mine is:

title "opt"
SCRATCH_DIR /state/partition1/
memory 3000 mb
