Clone Feature - Don't Link Countdown Clock, etc.

I love the clone feature to clone things from the pre-service loop to the post-service. So handy!
The downside though is when it clones, it links the options. In particular I'm thinking about the countdown clock and the auto advance. Linking the auto advance makes sense. However, the countdown clock one doesn't seem to make sense. We have the countdown clock on our pre-service and it works exactly as intended by counting down till the service start time. However, a countdown clock on the post-service doesn't make sense because we're not counting down to anything at that point and it'll just start at 5 minutes or whatever is selected. Ideally I'd de-select the countdown clock option on the post-service item, but because it's a clone, it also de-selects it on the pre-service, but I want to keep it on there.
Is there any way this can be updated please so the item is a clone (and therefore changes to the slide replicate), but the options below it aren't necessarily linked, meaning the pre-service could have the countdown clock but not the post-service version. I don't really mind what they default to when you clone (in fact the advance timer defaulting to the same probably makes sense), but you should be able to de-select at least the countdown clock without it also taking effect on the pre-service item.
Thanks :-)

I suggest that "Clone to Post-Service Loop" should not include the countdown timer by default. I don't know when anyone would want the timer in the post-service loop.0
