Do not automatically add a newly created block to a course's Selected Blocks under the Schedule tab

This year a new college guidance course was created that followed a unique pattern requiring new blocks for a new schedule outline.  As I am prepping for the next round of scheduling, I have realized that the new blocks are checked as Selected blocks on the Schedule tab of the course.  I now have to go into each course and physically uncheck each of those new blocks before I can run the schedule process.  One should need to opt in rather than opt out of blocks.  This is a tedious process and things like this add to the prep time required for scheduling the new year.

    As we change our schedule again, I have run into the same problem where new bocks are automatically added to the "Selected blocks" on the Scheduling tab of a course. The default should be NOT to add as a Selected block as some blocks created are not meant for general course scheduling. This is very tedious to go through all of the academic courses and remove those blocks to clean up what was never intended. I would prefer to "opt in" rather than the lengthy task of opting everything out.
