JMP Behavior in Preference "Hide ODBC Connection Strings" randomly reenables

[#1]

This is my first time posting in search of help. I am currently running JMP 17.1.0 and I cannot get the "Hide ODBC Connection Strings" in the preference to stay disabled. At seemingly random times it will reenables to an endless amount of frustration and lost work, needing to repull tables or salvage now useless queries. Recently it has been reactivating the moment I run a query, making all my data tables un-updatable. I and my colleagues use JMP to monitor and analysis live/fresh data and losing the ability to update tables with custom scripts and columns has costs hours of work, resulted in a great deal of frustration and has damaged what was a great product.

Is there some way to Permanently disable or remove this setting?

This setting shouldn't change, unless someone changes it manually or it is changed in a script.

A workaround could be to include this line in any query script:

Set Preference( "Hide ODBC Connection Strings"( 0 ) );

"This setting shouldn't change, unless someone changes it manually or it is changed in a script." I thought that too. I am using JMP on my Work laptop, and I don't share it with anyone. But it has been reseting on it's own. For example this morning on a JMP query I made ( I am using the GUI query builder and not a pure scripting query). I disabled the setting, double checked it was disabled, clicked "run query" and the setting was re-enabled. This happened 4 times in a row. Before today it's been randomly re-enabling once every 2 wks, it's become a part of my morning routine to check to see if it got turned back on. 

Is this setting that is only controlled locally? Can this be reset by the JMP server?

Sounds like a question for JMP support.
