Does not this fact prove that this is a design flaw? Why would so many people ask this same question again and again otherwise? Using RunBeforeJob script for that purpose is a hack, nothing more. Rest assured that I've searched the archive before posting and that's part of the reason that I am a bit upset, I should admit. I just don't fancy wasting my time on hacking around a bug reported multiple times since 4 years ago and never fixed due to obviously non-technical reasons.
