Subject: Flight plan sequence disappear when approach is lo

It is unlikely that you would clear someone to a non IAF/IF waypoint on an approach, unless you are vectoring. Selecting an approach will let you specify each of the IAF and IF waypoints as the entry points. So you could wait until you have a clearance, or are fairly sure of what you will get, and put it in and go.

Usually you will see an LSK to either activate approach, or close the gap in a meaningful way. You can also select any of the waypoints on the approach, activate that segment or go DCT.
I guess you are looking for the *armin method of selecting an approach, but not actually putting it into your flightplan, and then later pushing activate, that just isn't there. Although, that method also assumes that you know for sure which entry point you will be cleared.
