Feature request: Option for disabling autoplacement of fields in symbols imported from EAGLE library or schematics

Description

Currently, when importing symbols from EAGLE libraries (or schematics), the symbol editor shows the correct placement of fields as specified in the EAGLE files, but when adding a symbol to the schematics, all fields are autoplaced.

It would be nice to have an import option, whether all fields should have autoplacement enabled or not, as editing every imported symbol is very cumbersome.
