Look it’s really cool that you fulfill other player’s suggestions but I really dislike SF being auto by default. What you should’ve done is make new squad order that would command other AI to set mode to whatever you want, then the order would be remembered until you change it or switch your lineup.
You could also assign it to stance orders we have already to keep things simple and intuitive, for aggressive stance there would be auto for all weapons and for passive stance there would be semi or something like that.
