When moving an electrical circuit from panel to panel allow the user to keep or reset the current Phase.

Currently, when a circuit not yet linked to a panel is assigned to a switchboard, it is connected to the first available phase.

For example there are 4 outlets being connected to Panel 1, one per group. (Group1@Phase A, Group2@Phase B, Group3@Phase C, Group4@Phase A)

When selecting the 5th outlet and clicking the 'Power' button, it will automatically be assigned to Panel 1 as  group5@Phase B.


When the circuit is transferred, with the Panel selector in the Ribbon, from one panelboard/switchboard to the other, its phase is kept. So Group5@Phase B from Panel 1 transferred to Panel 2 will become Group1@Phase B.
It would be helpful to have an option to choose between: "Reset the Phase assignment to the first available or specific phase" and "Keep the previous phase". This preference should be remembered. This might be a checkbox within the "Modify | Electrical Circuits" status bar as shown in the attachment.

It now can be done by disconnecting the circuit first, which introduces an extra step.
