RP 4.1: Extra fields above #6 are not inherited

Hi

RP 4.1

There are currently 6 extra fields available automatically in a category. More can be added manually. The advantage of the 6 automatic extra fields is, that I can fill them with text and when saving, click at the buttom the checkbox

Quote:
*Check box to apply these settings and permissions to all children:
So all new subcategories inherit the already filled in text of those 6 extra field. No additional typing is required. Even if I move this subcategory to another parent category, the content of these 6 extra fileds are kept, which is great.

The same way works with all other settings within a category. I can inherit all of them. This is how it should work.

BUT the additional extra fields, that I can add manually (so extra field no. 7-15 for example), are not inherited at all when processed the same way. This means, that I have to type in all the text again and again for all extra fields above #6.

IMHO this should be processed the same way as the 6 automatic extra fields. At least I see no reason why all settings of a category are able to be inherited but only those are not. Does not make sense.

How can I fix this?

And/Or even better, is there a way to make more extra fields into this "automatic extra field group" i.e. 10 or 15 instead of only 6?

Thanks in advance
