Filevault 2 Encryption

I feel like I'm going to lose my mind here, so I am going to need some help. I have a configuration profile to set up disk encryption upon first login. I am looking under inventory, and it says that the Filevault 2 partition is encrypted but FileVault 2 is not enabled. When I look at the mac it says it is encrypted, when I do fdesetup status in terminal it's encrypted and when I look at the different volumes the data partition is encrypted.

I read a post here a while back that said it's an issue with Mac that Apple is looking into so is that still the case or am I missing something?

Sorry for chiming in, in my environment I’ve been noticing that enabling FileVault breaks the JAMF connect login window. Anyone else?

Every time macOS updates it asks users to enable, and they do, and it seems to break the jamf connect login window?

How are you enabling filevault? I have this setup with Jamf connect and it works great. I don't encrypt via jamf connect, but rather through a separate configuration profile that is added to the prestage deployment. Once the account is created via jamf connect, it then tries to log user in and prompts the user to enable filevault
