Furthermore, it looks like:

- I create a new event with another event nested inside.
- I set this event as a Default (good for templating).
- I create a new event based on that Default.

I see it still references that original nested event and the parameter. Which is desirable in some cases, but in others, I want to separate them, and I don’t see a way to choose.

This is somewhat related to trying to figure out what’s happening with [Bug with nested parameters not being editable per-event as expected? - #2 by joseph](https://qa.fmod.com/t/bug-with-nested-parameters-not-being-editable-per-event-as-expected/19945/2)
