Possible to reset "C" dial parameters from "C" position(GX7/GX8)?

Love my GX7 and my new GX8, but one thing drives me insane: as far as I can determine, the only way to change the setup of the "C" positions on the mode dial is,

1. Set mode dial on a non-C position.

2. Input desired custom settings.

3. Menu> Cust Set Memory, select C position (C1, C2, C3), select [Yes].

4. Back to original dial mode and *reset everything* back to where it was for your normal shooting.

So already we have an extra step. And it gets worse: every time I want to make a permanent change to the custom setting, I have to mess up the normal setting, then save the changes to the C position, then put everything back the way it was for normal shooting. This is a lot of work to make even one change. And it's always possible to omit something, thus requiring going through the entire process again.

Is there any way to change the custom setting without this do-undo-redo process? Preferably directly from the [C] position on the dial?

Thanks for any suggestion.
