Are you really saying this is the intended behavior? That you can't replace wagons remotely without having to follow the train and set it to manual after every wagon? Before 2.1 the train would stay in manual mode when you replaced wagons, which makes me think this is a bug.

Does this mean it won't get changed?

I understand that trains are supposed to switch to automatic mode once a train blueprint has finished building. However, there seems to be an issue when you replace only a single wagon using a ghost.
