Kenshi UI question; clicking the 'Block' button doesn't always switch behavior
I often need to change the behavior of more than one character in my Kenshi game. For example, I might need to turn Block, Hold or Passive off of everyone in a squad. If I have selected more than one character at a time, clicking on those buttons doesn't consistently change them all to that behavior. I end up having to check/select every character in my squad to confirm and/or change their setting, which is tedious.
Is there any way to consistently change the behavior flags for more than one character at a time? Note that I am currently playing a .99 version of the game, so it is possible this is a fixed bug in more current versions.

I don't remember the hot keys, but what you should do is to create multiple squads, then put people with a certain desired behavior in a certain squad. So you can have for example:
- One melee squad for fighting everything & chase down runners if desired.
- One ranged squad which only shoots what you tell them to shoot. This is a must, since it is the key to surviving friendly fire.
- One civilian/injured squad not fighting at all.

This may be something you already are aware of, but I figured I would share just in case... when you select a group and change a behavior such as blocking and the group has some people who were already blocking, in my experience you have to toggle the button a few times to "get everyone on the same page". This is more apparent with the sneaking skill.
