Default Label For Photometric Luminous Intensity Should Be Candela

Why does OpticStudio label results for Luminous Intensity using units of Lumens/Steradian when you set the Source Units to Lumens?  I don't know anyone or any specification that wouldn't use Candela as the title for the units of Luminous Intensity if working with Photometric units.  On graphs of Luminous Intensity from the analysis of Polar Detectors I always have to change the Y axis title to Candela but can't change the Peak Intensity value unit which is always labelled as Lumens/Steradian.  I have to send these graphs out to customers who have specifications that are always given in Candela and not all of them are technically aware that Lumens/Steradian is the same as Candela.

Please can you at least give users the opportunity to change the Peak Intensity units so that the match the Y axis title.  Even better Candela should be the default Luminous Intensity unit and if users want to revert to Lumens/Steradian they should be able to select this in the Units section of the System Explorer window.
