Super-force upgrade to yellow chests with filters

[Hares]

TL;DR

Add ability to perform upgrade from steel (or any other) chest into a storage chest with set filters without deconstruction.

What?

Upgrade requests should have be able to store target entity setting(s).

Why?

I also would love to see that one working. Maybe basic chests could have a hidden, unused logistic filter setting to serve as setting copy target when overbuilding with logistic chests?

Steel to filtered logistic storage chest is a very common and handy upgrade. Having to do it in two steps (upgrade planner steel to logistic, wait for bots to finish, overbuild blueprint with filters) is just busywork and leaves a time window for the unfiltered chests to get cluttered.

Since as of now, upgrade orders do not carry entity settings (unlike ghosts), I consider this not a bug, but a feature request.

Yes, this! I even made a test of the different upgrades, because I thought I was going crazy making an upgradable mall blueprint:

Every other type of chest other than the filtered does the upgrade ; the final column is a filtered storage chest. This is with the creative mod, so it automatically removes & replaces, but you can see which were marked for upgrade and which weren't, and which lost their contents (they were all full to start) -- the diagonals were the same item.
