Bug in 20.3.16 change CDT code alveoloplasty

When I chart an alveoloplasty with code D7310, and change that code to D7311 (or any of the other alveoloplasty codes), the selected quadrant will revert back to UR, no matter which quadrant had been selected previously.

Thanks

This is intended behavior. When changing any code that has a Quad, Sextant, or Arch treatment area, the selection returns to the defaults which are UR, 1, and U respectively.

Why would that be intended behavior? I want to change a code in a quadrant I've already selected. Why should OD make me not pass go and not collect $200 and send me right back to square one?

Agreed that it's not very slick. It would probably take about 4 hours of engineer time to handle that annoyance. This is because of all the required research, testing, and code review. A cost/benefit analysis says that should probably be a fairly low priority. Sorry.
