Apptio Planning: Save Budget/Forecast Comparisons in Layouts

BACKGROUND: I created comparisons in my forecast for current and future years against another budget. Due to my plan length (5 years), I had to add comparisons via the individual columns (right clicking column header - Add Comparison...) and not through Compare Shortcuts feature.  

PROBLEM: I go to save the view in Layouts with the comparisons included, however the comparisons do not save with the rest of the Layout. The comparison will be visible when I switch between other saved Layouts, and when I refresh the page, the comparisons completely vanish.

IDEAL SOLUTION: My use case is to have the comparisons automatically in the saved layout so that leaders do not need to manually add comparisons when reviewing the plan, I want to default the view, including comparisons, for them when they select the layout.
