UEFA Champions/Europa/Conference Leagues not using qualifiers

I've noticed the qualifier matches for this seasons UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League have used round numbers instead of the round being marked as 'qualifier' like it was in previous seasons.

Is it possible to update them en mass without going into each one individually? Round 1 for all 3 competitions is the next set of fixtures.

Somebody's changed them from Qualifier to individual round numbers twice now as I've reverted it back to Qualifier twice.

Ideally they would have their own round numbers like Q1, Q2, Q3, or maybe Q1L1, Q1L2, Q2L1 etc. but zag doesn't seem open to the idea of expanding the rounds so that they can be represented more accurately.

I'll get them all reverted back to Qualifier for the third time.

Thanks - that would be helpful. Hopefully they'll stay as they are now we have proper round 1/2/3 fixtures in the system.

I can see the qualifier matches have been reverted to round numbers on champions leagues and conference league since you made that last change. Europa league looks ok at the moment.

Sorry I didn't spot your response to this and just noticed it myself independently and came back to this thread.

@zag, I thought it was the case that round numbers don't revert?

I feel like I'm getting gaslighted as I swear I've changed them twice now, same with Libertadores and Sudamericana rounds which I also definitely changed once already.
