no shadow from object excluded from light linking

no shadow from object excluded from light linking

So I have simple setup. Plane, cube and domeLight.

DomeLight has illuminatesByDefault=Off and is explicitli light-linked to grondplane.

Cube is disconnected from domelight, but to my surprise it doesn't cast shadows - this is not natural workflow. What's the workaround? ShadowLinking seems not supported, are there tracing sets ?

By default, shadow linking follows light linking.

Go to Render Settings > Arnold Renderer > Lights to change that.

Shadow linking is supported.
