Standardized residence carry-through for entire household is missed!

On the 1940 census where the location is more exact than the usual standard city, county, state, country. Before the change to the new source linker, one could standardize the exact location, by clicking in the box, adding a space and accepting the more exact location in the text box, but also standardized it, so no red flags occurred. This standardization would carry through for each member of the household without any further input from the user, while still in the record linking process.

Similarly, I used to be able to standardize the 1935/"previous address", which is often "same house" or "same place" and it would then carry though on others in the household as appropriate.

With the new source linker, the system requires this standardization step to be repeated for each member of the household and the carry through for the entire household has been lost.

Was this feature intentionally dropped in the new programming or simply overlooked? Can we get it back? I miss it!
