Display the last used config if the newer one is about different lan

Hi, I have this (still partial) configuration in my NetSetMan.
Each group refers to a different card I have on my laptop: P1, P2 or WiFi.
It happens quite often that I have to change a configuration of one specific card, and when i do it, NetSetMan check the new configuration, clearing the tick on the last one.

It would be great (to me) if NetSetMan would check with a green tick the new chosen and activated configuration, keeping in some way "visible" (a grey tick?) the old one *only if the old one is about a different card).

EG: if in the image above I choose "Gummilabor" inside "P1 - PLC" group, it is good that the green tick moves from "PLC ETI" to "Gummlabor", but if I select "Gummi_AP_Freddo" inside "WiFi", it would be great to move the green tick from "PLC ETI" to "Gummi_AP_Freddo", but keeping a signal (like a grey tick) on "PLC ETI", to signal that the last used config on "P1" card is still set in that configuration...

I hope it's understandable :-) sorry for my english.

Unfortunately, we don't see any simple solution for your suggestion, as the current program structure only knows one current profile. It does not have a queue or list of last activated profiles. We would need to invest a lot of refactoring for this tiny change.

Also please note that there are lots of special cases that don't allow a simple solution:
Profiles can have multiple network adapters in their subprofiles.
Profiles can also be without any network adapter.
The selected network adapter can be changed after the profile was applied
