Retain Administrative Categories When Using In Place Update

When using the default setting under application base install options to "Automatically update the application content and distribution points", any administrative categories set to the application are lost when the application is updated.  Would it be possible to retain these categories?

      I was able to test it with Java 8 going from u221 to u231 and it maintained the administrative categories we had set.  Thank you so much for the quick turn around on this request.  You guys rock!

      Hey @Frank,

       

      In preview build 1.5.4.3 (Released today), admin categories should be retained during the in-place upgrade of an SCCM application. Please test it out and let us know what you think. This feature will probably make it to a production release within a week or so.

      Correct, Administrative Categories under the Applications node in the console.

      Hey @Frank, want to verify it's the admin categories and not users categories like shown below?
