Preset Editor - Tools - JSON, Upload -> change Preset Editor?

Love the product, I’m finding sounds in my VSTs twiddling knobs that I wouldn’t have found otherwise, so thanks!
I really liked a preset someone else made, and wanted to change the Port and Channel. Manually editing 111 controls wasn’t very appealing, so I used find/replace in the JSON screen to quickly change the port and channel. After clicking Upload, the E1 actually started using this new port and channel. However, the controls in the regular edit pane didn’t reflect these changes.
Now I had to leave the Preset Editor, remove the Preset from My Presets, go to Controller, Preset Slots to import from the E1. Phew, that took a while to find out. Next time it will be quicker, but why not immediately reflect it in the Preset Editor. If people make big mistakes, they can always fall back on a revision, not?

please note, the controls are never directly assigned to the port and channel. Instead, they use so-called Device that defines what MIDI port and channel will be used. Unless the preset uses some kind of hardcoded MIDI messages implemented in Lua, it is sufficient to simply adjust the configuration of the Device, see Devices.
