Bit-Wise Manipulation for Yamaha CS6X Layout - MIDI Designer Q&A

In my controller layout I have 9 appearances of those 15 buttons. Each set of those buttons has its own specific sysex messages. So I have 9 times 15 unique sysex messages. I am aware of control copies. The Copy one and the Make Similar one. The Copy one I can't use because the sysex messages differ for each button. I have used Make Similar of course.
One thing I noticed is something that would be useful in a future update.
I would love it if you could make a Make Similar Keep Name variant that keeps the same name. So if I have a button with name B and do a Make Similar Keep Name I get another button with name B. Doing a make similar 9 times 15 and having to rename every control was really a pain in the ass.
What if this were a global option that you could shut off for Make Similar?
I think a global option would be better, yes.

By the way, the CS6X is a Yamaha.
Thanks, do you have rights to edit the question? The important thing is that the Q&A site is useful as users look through it, so meaningful titles do help. Thanks!
I didn't know I could edit the subject, but it appears I can.
