cobbler not managing DHCP static IP after PXE

cobbler-2.6.5-9.1.noarch
I would like cobbler to continue to manage my DHCP settings after kickstart. In this case I'd like a static IP for the system.
The static IP works if "Netboot" is enabled, but if netboot is disabled (e.g. after kickstart is complete), then the entry is removed from dhcpd.conf -- so my machine get's a dynamic DHCP address instead of the static one assigned.
Is this something fixed in a later release, or am I doing something wrong? Below is the system report.
