Change bend angle in bend table.

I would like the ability to change the angle of a flange in the bend table.
I created a part with flanges wrapped around the part. I created a profile and used the flange tool and clicked on all the edges that I wanted to make a flange. I created all these flanges in one feature so that the software will automatically make the correct miters. Since the profile is not 90 degrees square. I have one flange that I want to make parallel with the profile of the part.
So I went to move command and rotated the face of that flange and then had to use the move command to offset it to match.
I think a quicker way would be to have the ability to change the angle in the bend table and the software would do it without using the move command or deleting the flange and then creatinga new flange at the new angle. You would type in the angle in the bend table and if you used multiple edges Onshape would automatically calculate the correct miter cuts to the flange and the adjacent flanges.
Thank you

Flange has Align to geometry angle control option ( courtesy of @Jake_Rosenfeld ) which would do pretty much what you've described but at the time of flange creation. I hope you can make use of it.
Thank you for your help.

I have an L shaped part with all sides having a 2" flange. One of the sides of the L shaped part has an angle.
I have one flange that I need parallel with the side that has an angle. I created all flanges in one step so I can have Onshape create the miter corners. If I could change this one flange by simply changing the angle in the bend table it would save a lot of time. I know there are work arounds but it would be nice (and efficient) I could do it in one step or if the align tool would work on this part.
