I don't know if this is something that cannot be fixed through an enhancement, or if it something i can work around.
Every metadata plugin has a configuration
the fields at the top level of the MDE is Global. Use the 'Configure Selected

Source button at the bottom of the Configure Metadata screen
You can also configure (click the button after selecting the PI) each on the Preferenceslugins:<plugin>
