Feature Request: Shelf Specific construction options

As per the title, id like to request that shelves get their own global construction option method/choice, we currently dado and screw, but all the benefits of this are now outweighed by doing them as just screw. The issues ive had is we have had shelfs and edge banding setup wrong from day one. Every single shelf we have sent out has technically been wrong due to the pre-mill settings we had and we dont have an edge bander, not a big deal have changed it now. But by fixing the issue has introduced the fact that on a fixed shelf it wants to dado it in, thats fine, but now the dado is longer than the finished shelf with lipping so youd have this awful notch to look at in the front of the shelf. 

If we also stop the dado then we can stop notching the lippings on the shelves, and manually cutting slots for recessed lighting when the job calls for it.

I am aware i can change them manually in the subassembly prompts, but doing things manually is not my thing 🤣

So my request falls under two possible solutions, reduce the dado so we manually cut a square corner to fit the edge banding/lipping into the dado. Or give us globals for the shelf construction to override it all. Either there is a manual finish process which is fine, squaring of a dado, or manual measuring to insert the fixed shelf.
