Ingredients added in Secondary don't affect gravity.

I'm doing a mead recipe and trying to add honey in my secondary fermentation. But neither the OG, Est FG, or Est ABV changes. Is there something I have to do for these ingredients to impact the calculation, or is this a bug?

I'm using the Android version.
 
This has been covered in a few other threads, but the definition of OG is based on original gravity before fermentation, so adding items in the secondary would not change it.

What I have been considering is doing an alternate "Total OG" which would really be imaginary but would include all fermentables so you could then have the total OG/FG to get a more accurate ABV for the entire batch.
