[bug] TimeFA0 option present even if no FA0 button assigned

Software: v0.93.21
Firmware: v2.18.F(7)

Issue: Any Fix Axes > FA function assigned to a button will cause the TimeFA0 option to display in Global > Common even if the FA function is 1,2 or 3. The other options properly only display if the appropriate function is assigned (i.e. TimeFA1 only if FA1 is assigned etc).

FA3 function assigned. No FA0 function assigned.

What if you add the line User=Developer to the [User] section in the zconfig.ini file?

User=Developer does make all contextual options display regardless of actual usage.

The issue here however is TimeFA0 displaying when it shouldn't.

Bumping this bug as the issue has come up again in the Discord.

Tempo is a fairly basic and widely used function, the fact access to Tempo Time is hidden behind the user=developer option (or assigning a Fix Axes button) is a problem

Plus adding user=developer to zconfig.ini displays all the options, which defeats the (apparent) purpose of making the Global page less underwhelming to new users.
Being told to add some obscure options to a .ini file is a bigger impediment honestly, some users don't even know how to open a file that isn't an executable, and office document or an mp3.

Adding that software version v0.93.10 is the last version of VKBDevCfg that displayed the Tempo Timer option when a Tempo button is used (these screenshot are all taken without user=developer of course):

The issue appeared in v0.93.11 and is still present in v0.93.32:
