HR: Position Default Options for SSHR

We are looking into streamlining our SSHR processes and would like to default information such as payroll name, salary basis, etc. in our SSHR functions.  We have found the profile option "HR: Position Default Option for SSHR" which allows this information to default based on the Postion work structure chosen during New Hires and Transfers.

We run into a problem because our end-users are used to selecting Job and not Position.  Since we have a 1-1 Job to Position ratio, once Job is chosen the Position automatically defaults.  It seems from our testing that in order to get information to default based off of Postion, it must be manually entered by the end user.  Even though Position defaults based off of Job selection, this does not trigger the functionality enabled by setting HR: Position Default Option for SSHR.
