Good catch, thanks for reporting. I’ve pushed a fix:

> <https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/8305>
>
> When selecting a volume rendering preset, the preset name was not reflected in t…he preset selector. The problem was that the volume rendering preset selector looked up what preset should be the selected one by the name of the vtkMRMLVolumePropertyNode and recently copying of the volume property node was changed so that the name was no longer copied.
> 
> A quick fix was to copy the preset name to the vtkMRMLVolumePropertyNode.
> 
> In the long term, it would be more robust to store the preset node ID in the vtkMRMLVolumePropertyNode when a preset is applied to it.

It should be integrated within a couple of days into the Slicer Preview Release.
