How to add a change to timing method exclusively to one specific variable?

I moderate a game (Ys IX) that recently added a load remover for its PC version. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add it so that "time without loads" and RTA are listed separately exclusively on the PC console variable, with "time without loads" as the default variable showing up while not adding "time without loads" to every other variable ranking on the page. I also can't seem to add this timing method without making it so that every run is listed as "time without loads", when all existing times on the board are RTA and I do not want to have to manually edit every single run's existing time to make it correctly be in the RTA column. Would anyone be able to help? Thanks in advance.

currently the only way to do this is to enable "time without loads" as a timing method in settings > rules, which will allow runners to fill out the "load removed time" field when submitting. empty time columns don't show on the leaderboard, so effectively the console runs will still only show time with loads, with the one stipulation being that both of these fields are in the run submission form regardless of category, so moderators will need to make sure the correct field is filled out when verifying runs.

edit: i see what you mean now about every run defaulting to LRT after adding the timing method. really stupid bug on sr.c's part, i think the only solution is to manually edit every run :/

We switched to LRT in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction and to fix this issue we wrote a script that copied RTA to LRT. There really should be a better solution to this. There are still thousands of runs where this issue isn't fixed, because we only did it to runs in the leaderboard.
