Campaign content restrictions have to be reset on every update

I have set my campaign so only a few core sourcebooks are legal. (phb1,2 *power) I saved this in a campaign file. But every month when the update happens, the characters get authorized for the new content. I have to load the char, unmark the new books, resave the campaign, save the character, load every other character, reload the new campaign, and save the character.

It seems like maybe characters with any restrictions should not automatically be authorized for new content. Maybe I'm doing this the hard way - if there's a better way, I'm interested.

I've noticed that campaign content restrictions aren't actually saved with character. While you might say name a campaign "Dave's Campaign" then limit the number of books, and your character will now say legal or illegal in Dave's Campaign. If you load the character again, all the books are available.

You can save the campaign setting and that loads all right (but new stuff could automatically be live, that I haven't checked), but Import campaign information from a character doesn't actually work.
