Updating schematic footprints from PCB

Layout Footprints
1

While working with an old version of KiCad (dated 2010), the footprint of a component needed to be changed on PCB only. Cvpcb of the schematic (its footprint list) was updated automatically.

I run now KiCad 5.1.2-1. This function seems no more available (but I may be wrong).
I mean; if I like to change a footprint on the PCB layout, I need to change it too on its schematic manually.

On the other hand, after changing a footprint on PCB layout only, then running “Update PCB from schematic”, the two different footprints of the same component (say same resistor on schematic and PCB) remain as they are (different). (I forgot to check “Update Footprint” :frowning: )

Thank you in advance for any hint.
