Unit independent placement of reference

Schematic Library Symbols
1

When I place in a multi unit symbol the reference designator in one unit like this:

grafik
grafik1701×798 19.2 KB

it appears on all other units on the same position like this:

grafik698×972 28.7 KB

“All units interchangeable” is off:

Is there a way to independently place the reference across the units?

No.

already open gitlab issue: Allow Symbol fields to have different positions in different units (#6512) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab

workaround mentioned in first answer in that topic.

Thanks for the answer, even that it means that it can’t be done.
I will not use the workaround, since hopefully the issue will be solved one day and I don’t want to mess up my libs.
