Which makes it a standard feature. And while it can already do it, there is still plenty of development to make it work the way you want. A simple thing is that the reason you brought this up. The current demo mode resets the configuration. Just adding a function to call that doesn't help. They need to call it in a different way to make sure there are no problems. And that means planning time, developer time, testing time, etc. And that's not just to add this, but to keep it working in the future.

I'm not trying to discourage people making suggestions. I'm just trying to make sure people realise the complexity. It's common for someone say, "just add an option". It's nowhere near as simple as that. Add in the fact they are getting these suggestions from many directions. They have to choose which to do. The will choose the ones that fits their current direction and, hopefully, benefits the most people. Or the loudest people. Unfortunately, the loudest people tend to be those in marketing. And as this is a family friendly environment, I won't give my opinion of how well marketing people guide product development.
