multi cell custom profile must have address 1 in master

Question

I'm building a new profile for a multi-cell light as the in-the board profile is broken. I'm running into a problem where as I add parameters to the master, one of the parameters has to be at address one. The fixture has all of the parameters for the individual cells starting at first address and at the end has fan control and a reserved channel at the end. Is there a way to have a parameter in the master without be forced to have something at address 1? Or is this something broken about the multi-cell editing in EOS? 
 
 Currently I'm running without the last 2 parameters the profile and just have to remember that the light is 2 addresses larger in footprint in reality.

Hi Freddo 
 Two things: 
 
 be sure to submit a request to have this fixture corrected: (+) Fixture Requests - Eos Family - Eos Family Consoles - ETC - Community 
 Having the cells be address 1 as opposed to the master is totally possible
 
 The Best Way to Make a Multicell Fixture in Eos - Electronic Theatre Controls Inc covers this in step 9, where you can alter the start address of each component of the MC fixture. 
 Another example: 
 
 By Editing the MC fixture, then clicking {Edit Multicell} you can alter the "DMX Offset" for the master and cells of the fixture. 
 When complete the fixture will now appear like this:

Keep in mind that when editing the Master or Cells they will all appear to start at address 1:
