I use custom symbols and custom Light Info records for my drawings. When I bring in some fixtures, the num channels field is different than how I've set it up in the record. The field is also greyed out so I can't change it in the OIP. It happens every time with certain symbols and never with the rest. I've verified that the field is correctly set in all the places I know to look.
I can fix it by Spotlight>Reports>Lighting Symbol Maintenance>"Update all lighting devices." Problem is when I do that, it also erases the "Channel" field of all my lights. If I've forgotten to check before I start numbering, it creates a lot of double work for me.

Any ideas?
