Duplicated objects in Open Studio

I noticed that when we press "Apply to selected" button (e.g. apply thermostats for selected zones), in resulting IDF file (out.idf) there are still unique elements for control schedules and thermostats for each zone while temperature setpoints are the same... It leads to inability to use this IDF for further processing and blows up the IDF itself. Wouldn't it be correct to use unique thermostat objects with the same control and setpoints? Or even better to use Zone Lists?
