1. Expand automation for a track with Volume and Pan lanes where both Volume and Pan are set to Read

2. Change Volume automation mode from Read to Write

Expected: Volume changes to Write, Pan remains as Read

Actual: both are changed to Write.

I don't want to accidentally overwrite the work I did for my pan automation or vise versa.

Further.  When you select an automation lane and push on an automation type on your HUI (ioStation, for example), it should change the mode for the selected lane.  Not Volume and Pan.  If you have automated the threshold on your compressor, you have to change the mode with your mouse.
