Minimum air flow per zone floor area

I was confused by Cooling Minimum Air Flow per Zone Floor Area in OS1.7.0.

In the "Thermal Zones" tab, I click the "Cooling Sizing Parameters" section and input 0.4 ft3/min.ft2 for the "Cooling Minimum Air Flow per Zone Floor Area". However, when I click the "HVAC Systems" tab and check the thermal zone connecting to reheat box, it shows 24ft/min for "Cooling Minimum Air Flow per Zone Floor Area" in the OS:Sizing:Zone section. It seems 24ft/min is used for calculation. Did I do something wrong in the "Thermal Zones" tab?
