How to Extend PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes

One PlantLoop has only one PlantEquipmentOperationScheme.

One PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes has only 8 PlantEquipmentOperation:XXX objects by default.

I want to assign more than 8 PlantEquipmentOperation:XXX objects to one PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes. I tried editing Energy+.idd file to extend lines of PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes, but I got the following error when I ran the simulation. It seems that PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes is not extensible.

   ** Severe  ** Line: 597330 Index: 0 - Object contains more field values than maximum number of IDD fields and is not extensible.
   ** Severe  ** Line: 597330 Index: 0 - Error parsing "PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes". Error in following line.
   ** Severe  ** ~~~     PlantEquipmentOperation:CoolingLoad,  !- Control Scheme 9 Object Type

Is there any way to assign more than 8 PlantEquipmentOperation:XXX objects to one PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes? Or will it be extensible in the future EnergyPlus version?

How to Extend PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes

One PlantLoop has only one PlantEquipmentOperationScheme.

One PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes has only can have up to 8 PlantEquipmentOperation:XXX objects by default.

I want to assign more than 8 PlantEquipmentOperation:XXX objects to one PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes. I tried editing Energy+.idd file to extend lines of PlantEquipmentOperationSchemes, but I got the following error when I ran the simulation.
