s_UseTool::DrawingType: DRAWING_RECTANGLEHIGHLIGHT

Hello Sierra Chart,
I have a study that draws rectangles DRAWING_RECTANGLEHIGHLIGHT on a source chart as well as a destination chart.

The drawings are drawn correctly, however, on the destination chart the Drawing Type (Manage Chart Drawings Window) is "Rectangle", not "Rectangle Highlight".

As I am scanning user-drawn chart drawings using sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing() on the destination chart, the "Rectangle" isn't being detected as this isn't supported by "s_UseTool::DrawingType" (Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study: s_UseTool::DrawingType).

Are there any options to detect the "Rectangle" either through supporting DRAWING_RECTANGLEHIGHLIGHT and DRAWING_RECTANGLE_EXT_HIGHLIGHT on the destination chart or adding support for DRAWING_RECTANGLE in "s_UseTool::DrawingType"?

Thank you

DRAWING_RECTANGLEHIGHLIGHT is a Rectangle drawing. They are both the same.
