Copper flood on one net getting absorbed into Gnd flood net

Laying out a section on my board for high current measurement. Used copper flood to create islands between terminal block leads and sense resistor. Used vias to connect top and bottom flood to increase current carrying capability.

Now it’s time to do the gnd flood for the whole board and for some reason these current shunt floods are not being avoided by the gnd flood. I’m guessing my current shunt floods are not taking on the net name, though I did select the net name in the flood settings.

What did I do wrong? Thanks for your help.

Since I’m a new user, I’ve put a combined photo below. Top is showing the current shunt flooded areas. Bottom is after adding an GND flood to the whole board.

Did you set the zone priority higher than GND?

I did not, thank you! That fixed the issue.

FWIW, coming from Circad98 (yeah, old) and was used to selecting the net per flood, which automatically results in flood avoiding different nets.

Thank you for your help!
