At the beginning of each flight, I try to go vertically from my takeoff point and do a 360 to verify the height of nearby obstacles. I noticed that after the recent (6/15/2021) firmware update (v01.02.0000), my altitude settings are in meters even though my drone is set to imperial units. It's important that we have access to imperial units because USA regulations are in terms of feet rather than meters, and folks in the USA have a better sense of what feet mean than what meters mean. For the short term I can memorize that 400 feet is about 120 meters, but that still doesn't help me when I use the drone with a camera set to zero degrees to find the height of the nearest tree. I don't want to have my Return to Home height set to 120 meters because I don't want to interfere with manned airspace -- I want to be about 20 feet higher than the highest obstacle.
The attached pictures (it's really hard to take a picture of what the goggles see!) show that I'm in imperial, but the safety settings use meters.
I tried changing to metric and then changing back again in case that would trigger something, but it didn't help.
DJI, when should we expect a hotfix so that it's easier for us to fly in a safe, legal, and compliant fashion?

Units should be imperial

But Return to Home height is metric
