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.
