OpenStudio 1.10 Problem severe error constructions note being assigned correctly in interzone surfaces

Hi there, when assigning different constructions sets to two adjacent spaces (using the plugin 'set attributes for selected spaces'), the interzone surface inherits two different constructions which results in the following severe e+ error:

* Severe * GetSurfaceData: Construction EA INTERIOR PARTITION WALL REFRIGERAION 1 of interzone surface 00REF-01 - WALL 090:A does not have the same number of layers as the construction EA INTERIOR PARTITION WALL of adjacent surface 00MEC-02 - WALL 270:A * ~~~ * ...this problem for this pair will not be reported again. The simulation fails. This problem is resolved by manually assigning construction to one of the referenced surfaces. e.g. set, A INTERIOR PARTITION WALL REFRIGERAION construction for 00MEC-02 - WALL 270:A.

I was expecting that when you a assign a construction set to a space all the constructions of adjacents surfaces would be updated to match the new construction set. How should the workflow be in order to no have assign constructions manually?

Thanks.
