Issue with new item.type syntax in 2017

Hi,

I am changing the syntax of item.type in the SET ITEM TYPE BY PERCENT code to setitemtype(item,2). Once I alter the code, it keeps reverting back to item.type. How do I avoid this? Code is below.

Original Code:

int stream = /**\nStream number:*//***tag:stream*//**/0/**/;
double randomnum = uniform(0.0, 100.0, stream);
double total = 0.0;
int foundmatch = 0;
total += /**\nPercent: *//**/Percent/**/;
if (!foundmatch && randomnum <= total)
{ item.type = /** Type: *//**/2/**/;
foundmatch = 1; }
New Code:
total += /**\nPercent: *//**/Percent/**/;
if (!foundmatch && randomnum <= total) {
setitemtype(item,2);
foundmatch = 1; }

It reverts back if you edit it using the popup:

The popup is populated based on the markup in the code. It then generates the appropriate code based on the popup.

If you want to customize the code in the picklist, you can press this button to delete the markup and its features:
