P: PDF - Open As Smart Object > "crop to" settings

A view Photoshop versions ago, when placing multiple pdfs, the crop-to-setting chosen for the first pdf, stayed the same for all the pdfs. 
Since CC 2016 it reverts back to bounding box every time.
Can we have that back, please?

I have to place hundreds of files every week, you can imagine how cumbersome that is 😉

Thanks.
