Sequence specific ruler guides

Is there any way to have ruler guides be contained within a sequence? I work between 16:9, 9:16 and 1x1 all the time and hate having to change my guides each time I go to a different sequence. I've finally set up some templates for myself which obviously massively speeds this up, but it's still a pain! Any thoughts appreciated or if this can become an idea for the dev team then sweet.... 👀

    I'm currently working on a commercial job with tons of split screens, which must be delivered in 16:9, 4:5, and 9:16. I've set up and saved guide templates to do my work, but because the edit's split screens must be adjusted and replicated in each for each format, it's annoying that I constantly have to switch the guide template for each format – especially when I'm bouncing back and forth between formats to address client feedback on a tight deadline. Having one guide template for all screen formats doesn't make sense to me, so I would love to see sequence-specific guides added in the future.

      This needs to be addressed. Having fixed guidelines across different formats makes no sense at all.

        Nope. This would make a nice feature request.
