Separate load times - Old times goes to loadless

Hi ! Here is my problem: I moderate a game called The Messenger and the community decided to switch to loadless. So I checked "Separate load times" in the game parameters BUT all the current times are going into the "loadless time" column where they should go in the "load time" one. I tried to deactivate and reactive it while switching the default time to "with" and "without" loads but nothing changed (I know it's to sort runs by loads or not but we never know). https://i.imgur.com/G5Cn5sg.png

Any ideas why it's behaving like that and/or how I can make it work correctly?

P.S : We have hundreds of runs so editing the times by hand isn't an option considering we should also change obsolete runs. I also took a look at the API but it doesn't seem to be possible to edit the runs except for the status and the players who participated so I can't inverse the load/loadless times with it either.

I don't moderate any games that uses the 'separate load times' option but I would assume that if you are of rank moderator or higher you should be just fine in editing the times on submissions. Pretty sure I've seen this conversation come up before and the response was that it needs to be done by hand.

@Twan_Jones I'm a Super Mod but like I said we have ~700runs in the leaderboard so it's not "just fine in editing the times on submissions" when we have that many runs and when we could have a small button/option to change all the runs in loads instead of loadless. But in any case, I don't understand why the "separate load times" would put the times in loadless since, if you are using this option that means you want to remove the loads from the real time/ingame time so the current time is obviously with loads ... (if you were already using loadless and wanted to add realtime you would already be using "separate load times" with the option to hide the realtime :/)

And sadly @Anderson, I can't do that either since we need to remove the loads from all existing runs manually (at least all the non-obsolete runs) so even if I uncheck it, all the runs are still going to be in the loadless column so that's not gonna help since all the existing runs have loads... unless we retime all the runs in one go before switching to loadless which would be a total mess (also since we were planning to retime runs bit by bit since it's really tedious to retime).

But thanks for the help. I hope a full mod will see this thread and will be able to help our community (and possibly avoid this problem in the future too) since it's just about to invert load/loadless otherwise we'll need to switch the times to loadless->load in every leaderboard runs to have a clean loadless/load ...

Well, in the end, I just wrote a Tampermonkey script to automatically "open->edit->invert load/loadless times->apply" every run in the leaderboard.

Thanks again for the help !
