Using RDz with BMS editor, need to have a preference for EXTATTS= NO or YES

Working with RDz 7.5.1 and BMS
The customer is using only EXTATT=NO
the default is EXTATT=YES
there is no possibility to modify this default value in the preferences
The customer is obliged each time he works with a new BMS to change the option EXTATT to NO

The customer would like to have an option in the BMS preferences of the workspace to define the default value of EXTATT: YES or NO
