Is it possible to disable the automatic "suggestions" for the merge scope of a hole?

When I add a hole, OnShape will auto-populate the merge scope of that hole. Sometimes this is useful, other times it extends the merge of the hole well beyond what I want it to be, which can be frustrating to have to delete multiple items from the merge scope list when I just want the hole to go all the way through one or two parts, not every part that hole could theoretically touch in a continuous straight line.
Further, there have been multiple times where I've gone in to edit the parameters/dimensions/etc of a hole, and after making those edits, the merge scope changes itself to include more parts. This is incredibly frustrating and has led to multiple instances where that change in merge scope causes problems in other parts that I don't catch until much later into the design process (one time after a small edit request by a machinist almost led to a catastrophe when that hole change edited multiple parts it wasn't previously set to edit).
Is there a way to turn this off? I'd much rather just have to manually select the relevant parts every time I make a hole instead of risking these problems.
