Can You Disable Fade to Warm On ArcSystem Pro Fixtures?

Symptoms/Issue

Even when the "suppress Fade to Warm" flag is enabled via RDM, the feature is still enabled.

Description/Explanation of Issue

Fade to Warm functionality cannot be disabled on ArcSystem Pro fixtures. The Fade to Warm variants of the fixtures use a single COB (Chip On Board) with integrated Fade to Warm technology, and this cannot be changed by the driver. In RDM versions of the fixtures, there is a property that can be changed labeled "Suppress Fade to Warm." This is only intended for RDM ArcLamp drivers, where the warm and cool emitters in the lamps can be controlled separately, but the property is present in all RDM devices as they use the same software.
