Right now, if I create a parametrized blueprint, specify "snap to grid" and select either of the absolute or relative options - I am unable to "tile" several of them sequentially, since each time the pressed mouse button is interrupted by the selection of the options - and then blueprint goes back to being unparametrized.

Desired state: for example:

• Create a tile-able parametrized blueprint of producing something in 2 chemical plants;
• Start placing said blueprint for the first time since picking it up from inventory or the blueprint library;
• Select all the parameters, and, upon clicking "Confirm" it is placed;
• In hand I now have the already parametried temporary version of the already placed version and can now simply hold mouse button and drag to place as many as I want.

I second this. It makes it impossible to use the snap to grid option for a lot of my blueprints now. I like the solution proposed above, and I think it could also be either an option in the blueprint settings, or perhaps it changes behavior automatically when snap to grid is enabled. It could even be selected by a key combination similar to force building. We already have other blueprint-specific hotkeys, after all.
