@technicallightingdesigner. Samiwas, Clear_all, and Glad, among others have presented elegant ways to do what EXACTLY you are asking.
By design MA is not going act like you would expect from any other desk, and that's usually a good thing, but it takes more time and a little dedication to learn.
Also, If you don't know, this is a user created forum, and IS NOT an official MA Lighting forum. Its just some of the BEST MA users on the planet, who are willing to help out the others like you and me.
If you have suggestions about improvements for future releases, it is best directed at MA Lighting. They do listen, and they do participate in this forum, along with users and distributors. Somewhere on the MA website is an email to developers for making update suggestions, and that's the best bet if you would like to contribute to further development of the product.
