Can Painter remember last brush size used somehow after switching brushes?

It's very annoying to  always do size adjusting , copy pasting  size  etc.

Hi,

 

So I'm beginning to learn Substance painter and I noticed that every time you change brushes, SP reset the settings (size, flow, opacity...).

 

So did I miss an option to tick so SP would remember?

 

Because otherwise, how do you people just do?

What you could do is create brush presets for the brushes you use in your project with different parameters such size and then when you reuse them, by selecting them in the shelf you will get the original parameters of the brush.
right click in the properties panel to create a preset like described in: https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/spdoc/creating-and-saving-presets-180191514.html
but from now coming back to another paint layer it will not go back to the last brush size...

Isn't such approach  inconvenient as hell?  You have to do gazillion copies of basically same brush just for size.  For some uncetain reason evry soft do it that way and only Zbrush  does  it  properly.
