How do I set intensity channels to default instead of zero

This relates to the new GROUP function of the top button for a submaster in v1.4.  I set some channels' intensity manually and then record them into a submaster.  Pressing the top button now display those channels as a group.  I can set those channels to zero intensity and set some others to a non-zero intensity and record them to another submaster.  When I press the top button for that second submaster all the channels that I have used are in the group, even those that were set to zero intensity.  This doesn't make sense - shouldn't the group only contain the channels that are non-zero?  In fact any channel that has been set to a value manually and then set to zero will be in the group associated with the submaster.  The only channels that are not included are those that have never been altered, i.e. their intensity is shown in grey on the tombstone view.  As far as I'm concerned this group function is not useful. All the channels involved are intensity only channels.

 Is there a way  to set intensity channels to the default intensity - greyed out - so this doesn't happen?  Or is this a bug in the submaster group function?

  • Yes, but the way I see most people recording groups is through command line selection, rather than using the state of the light itself.  This is because groups are often a subset of what lights are currently in use, and because many times you care about the selection order, which can't be determined from just a select active record function.
