Updating mask on multiple images

Question

I consider this a bug. If I select several images with the same mask and change one setting in one of the images, it updates all images's setting with the same exact settings of the updated image, including the position, size , etc... instead of just the changed setting.
 
eg. 3 photos with Linear Gradient "Mask 2". All have different settings. If I change the Blacks on the selected image, it should update only the Blacks on the other photos and not all other settings, and much less, the size and position of every mask

I think you are missing some steps in your description.

"If I select several images with the same mask."

By "the same mask", do you mean A) you synced/copied the mask from one image to the others>? Or B) did you apply the same preset to all of them, where the preset contains a mask? Or did you C) use the Masking panel to separately apply the same mask component (e.g. linear gradient) to each of the photos, and they happen to have the same name, e.g. Mask 1 > Linear Gradient 1?

"change one setting in one of the images, it updates all images's setting with the same exact settings of the updated image"

After initially adding the masks to the images with methods A, B, or C, and then change the settings of the mask on one image, do you mean that you then use Sync, Copy-Paste, or Auto Sync to copy the change from that image to the other images?

The behavior in these cases is different, and I believe it is by design. Once you provide more precise step-by-step details of what you're doing, I can explain the behavior.
